ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

Allathee khalaqa fasawwa

Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;

وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

Waallathee qaddara fahada

Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ

Waallathee akhraja almarAAa

And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ

FajaAAalahu ghuthaan ahwa

And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ

Sanuqrioka fala tansa

By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ

Illa ma shaa Allahu innahu yaAAlamu aljahra wama yakhfa

Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ

Wanuyassiruka lilyusra

And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).

فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ

Fathakkir in nafaAAati alththikra

Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ

Sayaththakkaru man yakhsha

The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى

Wayatajannabuha alashqa

But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,

ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

Allathee yasla alnnara alkubra

Who will enter the Great Fire,

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ

Thumma la yamootu feeha wala yahya

In which they will then neither die nor live.

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

Qad aflaha man tazakka

But those will prosper who purify themselves,
