87. Ala · verses 14–19

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

Qad aflaha man tazakka

But those will prosper who purify themselves,

وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

Wathakara isma rabbihi fasalla

And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.

بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا

Bal tuthiroona alhayata alddunya

Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;

وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ

Waalakhiratu khayrun waabqa

But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

Inna hatha lafee alssuhufi aloola

And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-

صُحُفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ

Suhufi ibraheema wamoosa

The Books of Abraham and Moses.
