Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

Sabbihi isma rabbika al-aAAla

Who created and proportioned

Allathee khalaqa fasawwa

And who destined and [then] guided

Wallathee qaddara fahada

And who brings out the pasture

Wallathee akhraja almarAAa

And [then] makes it black stubble.

FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa

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

Sanuqri-oka fala tansa

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

Illa ma shaa Allahuinnahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa

And We will ease you toward ease.

Wanuyassiruka lilyusra

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

Fathakkir in nafaAAati aththikra

He who fears [Allāh] will be reminded.

Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha

But the wretched one will avoid it

Wayatajannabuha al-ashqa

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

Allathee yasla annaraalkubra

Neither dying therein nor living.

Thumma la yamootu feeha walayahya

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

Qad aflaha man tazakka

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla

But you prefer the worldly life,

Bal tu/thiroona alhayata addunya

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

Wal-akhiratu khayrun waabqa

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

Inna hatha lafee assuhufial-oola

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.

Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
