Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most-High,
87:2
ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٢
who created, and, further, gave [due] proportion [to what He created];
87:3
وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ٣
who measured, and granted guidance [to Man and animals];
87:4
وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ ٤
and who brought out the [green and luscious] pasture,
87:5
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ ٥
and then turned it into blackish straw.
87:6
سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ ٦
[O Prophet, by degrees] shall We reveal to you [the Message], so forget [it] not,
87:7
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ ٧
except as Allāh wills.1Verily, He knows what is manifest and what is hidden [of your conduct].

فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ ٩
Therefore, give admonition in case the admonition profits [the listener].1
87:10
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ ١٠
He will remember who fears [Allāh]:
87:11
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ١١
[But] it will be avoided by the most wicked,
87:12
ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ١٢
who will burn in the great Fire,
87:13
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ ١٣
in which he will then neither die nor live.
87:14
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ١٤
But he will prosper who purifies himself,
87:15
وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ ١٥
and remembers the name of his Lord, and prays.
87:16
بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا ١٦
Nay [behold], you prefer the life of this world;
87:17
وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ ١٧
but the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
87:18
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ١٨
And this is in the Scriptures of the earliest [Revelations],

صُحُفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ١٩
The Scriptures of Ibrāhīm1and Mūsā.2
