1 The Most High

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى

Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High

Sabbihi isma rabbika al-aAAla

الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

Who created and gave the things created good shape

Allathee khalaqa fasawwa

وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

And Who determined [the span of existence for the things created] and guided them

Waallathee qaddara fahada

وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ

And Who brought out the verdure [on the earth]

Waallathee akhraja almarAAa

فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ

And then made it into dark rubble

FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa

سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ

We shall make you recite and then you will not forge

Sanuqri-oka fala tansa

إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ

Except for what Allah wills. HE knows what is manifest and what is hidden

Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

And We shall make things easy for you

Wanuyassiruka lilyusra

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ

Should the divine Words of the Qur'aan benefit them, do recite these to them

Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

He who fears (Allah) shall take heed therefrom

Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى

And he who is wicked will shun it

Wayatajannabuha al-ashqa

الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ

He who will burn in the Great Fire

Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ

Then he will neither die in it, nor live

Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

He will surely attain salvation who keeps himself pure [in worldly life]

Qad aflaha man tazakka

وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ

And oft-remembers his Lordճ name and then prays to Him

Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

But no, you prefer this worldly life

Bal tu/thiroona alhayata alddunya

وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ

Whereas the Hereafter is better and enduring

Waal-akhiratu khayrun waabqa

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ

This fact, indeed, was [also stated] in the earlier Scriptures —

Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi al-oola

صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ

The Scriptures of Abraham and Moses

Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa
