- Revealed in Makkah
- Juz 30
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High
ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
Who created and proportioned
وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
And who destined and [then] guided
وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ
And who brings out the pasture
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ
And [then] makes it black stubble
سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ
Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ
And We will ease you toward ease
فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ
So remind, if the reminder should benefit
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى
But the wretched one will avoid it
ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ
Neither dying therein nor living
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays
بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا
But you prefer the worldly life
وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures
صُحُفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses
