بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى1
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ2
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ3
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ4
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ5
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ6
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ7
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ8
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ9
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ10
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى11
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ12
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ13
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ14
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ15
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا16
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ17
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ18
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ19
