Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

Who created and proportioned

3وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

And who brings out the pasture

5فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ

And [then] makes it black stubble.

6سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ

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

7إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ

Illaa maa shaaa'al laah; innahoo ya'lamul jahra wa maa yakhfaa

And We will ease you toward ease.

9فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;

10سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

Sa yazzakkaru maiyakhshaa

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.

11وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى

Wa yatajannabuhal ashqaa

But the wretched one will avoid it -

12ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

Allazee yaslan Naaral kubraa

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

13ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

Summa laa yamootu feehaa wa laa yahyaa

Neither dying therein nor living.

14قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

Qad aflaha man tazakkaa

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

15وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

Wa zakaras ma Rabbihee fasallaa

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

16بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

Bal tu'siroonal hayaatad dunyaa

But you prefer the worldly life,

17وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ

Wal Aakhiratu khairunw wa abqaa

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

18إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
