Surah al-A`la (87)

87 : 1

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى


Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

87 : 2

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ


Who created and proportioned

87 : 3

وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ


And who destined and [then] guided

87 : 4

وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ


And who brings out the pasture

87 : 5

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ


And [then] makes it black stubble.

87 : 6

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ


We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,

87 : 7

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ


Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

87 : 8

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ


And We will ease you toward ease.

87 : 9

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ


So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

87 : 10

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ


He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

87 : 11

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى


But the wretched one will avoid it -

87 : 12

ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ


[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

87 : 13

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ


Neither dying therein nor living.

87 : 14

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ


He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

87 : 15

وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ


And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

87 : 16

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا


But you prefer the worldly life,

87 : 17

وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ


While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

87 : 18

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ


Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

87 : 19

صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ


The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
