Recitation: Mishary Rashid Alafasy (islamic.network CDN)
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى﴿1﴾
87:1Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High
ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ﴿2﴾
87:2Who created and proportioned
وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ﴿3﴾
87:3And who destined and [then] guided
وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ﴿4﴾
87:4And who brings out the pasture
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ﴿5﴾
87:5And [then] makes it black stubble
سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ﴿6﴾
87:6We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ﴿7﴾
87:7Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ﴿8﴾
87:8And We will ease you toward ease
فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ﴿9﴾
87:9So remind, if the reminder should benefit
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ﴿10﴾
87:10He who fears [Allah] will be reminded
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى﴿11﴾
87:11But the wretched one will avoid it
ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ﴿12﴾
87:12[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ﴿13﴾
87:13Neither dying therein nor living
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ﴿14﴾
87:14He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ﴿15﴾
87:15And mentions the name of his Lord and prays
بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا﴿16﴾
87:16But you prefer the worldly life
وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرࣱ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ﴿17﴾
87:17While the Hereafter is better and more enduring
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ﴿18﴾
87:18Indeed, this is in the former scriptures
صُحُفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ﴿19﴾
87:19The scriptures of Abraham and Moses
