The Most High · Meccan · 19 ayahs · Juz 30
- 87:1
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
Glorify the name of your Exalted Rabb (The Most High)...
- 87:2
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
... Who created and perfected (shaped all of creation)...
- 87:3
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
...Who determined (the proportions, numbers and capabilities of everything) and showed (guided) the way (to His creation by causing them to be inclined towards the functions for which they were created.)...
- 87:4
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
...Who made (fresh, lush and sought-after) fodder grow...
- 87:5
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
...and then (after a while) reduced it to a black heap of (unwanted) debris. (This is symbolic of everything of this world, which tempts people to hanker after it but ultimately becomes something useless and unwanted.)
- 87:6
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
(O Rasulullaah ﷺ!) We shall soon teach (recite to) you (the Qur'aan) and you will not forget (any part of it)...
- 87:7
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
...except that (portion of the Qur'aan) which Allaah wants (you to forget because it has been cancelled. See verse 106 of Surah 2). Verily Allaah knows what is apparent (open) and what is hidden (and therefore knows best which laws of the Qur'aan to cancel and when).
