سُورَةُ الأَعۡلَىٰ
سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى ١
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
Sabbihi isma rabbika alaAAla
ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ٢
Who created and proportioned
Allathee khalaqa fasawwa
وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ٣
And who destined and [then] guided
Wallathee qaddara fahada
وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ ٤
And who brings out the pasture
Wallathee akhraja almarAAa
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ ٥
And [then] makes it black stubble.
FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa
سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ ٦
We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
Sanuqrioka fala tansa
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ ٧
Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ٨
And We will ease you toward ease.
Wanuyassiruka lilyusra
فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ ٩
So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
Fathakkir in nafaAAati aththikra
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ ١٠
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ١١
But the wretched one will avoid it -
Wayatajannabuha alashqa
ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ١٢
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
Allathee yasla annara alkubra
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ ١٣
Neither dying therein nor living.
Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ١٤
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
Qad aflaha man tazakka
وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ ١٥
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla
بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا ١٦
But you prefer the worldly life,
Bal tuthiroona alhayata addunya
وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ ١٧
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
Walakhiratu khayrun waabqa
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ ١٨
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
Inna hatha lafee assuhufi aloola
صُحُفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ١٩
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
