In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
| 87:1 | Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High, |
| 87:2 | Who creates, then makes complete, |
| 87:3 | And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal), |
| 87:4 | And Who brings forth herbage, |
| 87:5 | Then makes it dried up, dust-colored. |
| 87:6 | We will make you recite so you shall not forget, |
| 87:7 | Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden. |
| 87:8 | And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease. |
| 87:9 | Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit. |
| 87:10 | He who fears will mind, |
| 87:11 | And the most unfortunate one will avoid it, |
| 87:12 | Who shall enter the great fire; |
| 87:13 | Then therein he shall neither live nor die. |
| 87:14 | He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself, |
| 87:15 | And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays. |
| 87:16 | Nay! you prefer the life of this world, |
| 87:17 | While the hereafter is better and more lasting. |
| 87:18 | Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures, |
| 87:19 | The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa. |
