SHORT SURAHS FOR NAMAAZ

 

Surah Al-Qadr

 

Bismil-laahir Rahmaan nir Raheem

Innaa anzalnaahu fee Laylatil-Qadr

Wama adraaka maa Laylatul-Qadr

Laylatul-Qadri khairum-min alfi shahr

Tanazzalul-Malaa'ikatu war-Roohu feehaa bi-idhni Rabbihim-min kulli amr

Salaamun Hiya hattaa matla'il-Fajr

In the name of Allah Ta'ala, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful

Undoubtedly, We revealed it (Qur'aan) in the Night of Power

And what will tell you what the Night of Power is?

The Night of Power is better than a thousand months

The angels and the spirit (Jibraeel) descend in it by the Command of their Lord, for every affair

It is all-peaceful until the rising of the dawn

 

Surah Al-Asr

 

Bismil-laahir Rahmaan nir Raheem

Wal-'Asri

Innal-Insaana lafee khusrin

Illal-latheena aamanoo wa Aamilus-s'alihati, wa tawasaw bil-haqqi, wa tawasaw bis-sabr

In the name of Allah Ta'ala, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful

I swear by the time (of My Beloved Prophet)

Verily man is in a state of loss

Except those who believe and do righteous deeds, and (those) who exhort one another to accept truth, (those who) counsel one another to be patient

Tarmeehim bi-hijaratin-min sijjeel

Faja 'Aalahum ka'aasfim makool

In the name of Allah Ta'ala, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful

(O Beloved) Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?

Did He not cause their device to fail?

And He sent on them swarms of birds

Striking them with stones of baked clay

And thus made them like broken straw, eaten up (as chaff)

 

Surah Al-Quraish

 

Bismil-laahir Rahmaan nir Raheem

Li-eelafi qurayshin

Eelafihim rihlatash-shita'I was-sayf

Fal-yaa'budu Rabba haadal-bayt

Allathee' at'ahm min juu'inw-wa 'aamanahum-min khawf

In the name of Allah Ta'ala, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful

Because of the attachment of the Quraish

(Allah) kept them attached in their journeys during winter and summer

So they should worship the Lord of this House (the Ka'bah)

Who has fed them against hunger and secured them from a big fear

 

Surah Al-Ma'oon

 

Bismil-laahir Rahmaan nir Raheem

Ara-aytalladhi yukdhdhibu bid-deen

Alladhina hum yuraa-una

Wa yamna 'un-al ma'oon

In the name of Allah Ta'ala, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful

Well, have you seen him who belies the Religion

That is he who drives away the orphan

And does not urge the feeding of the needy

So curse to be to those offering Salaah

Who are neglectful of their Salaah

Those who show it (to others)

And refuse to give daily articles of use (to the needy ones)

 

 

Surah Al-Kauthar

 

Bismil-laahir Rahmaan nir Raheem

(O Beloved Muhammad) Undoubtedly, We have bestowed upon you an abundance of good.

So offer Salaah to your Lord and offer sacrifice

Verily, your enemy is deprived of every good

 

Surah Al-Kafiroon

 

Bismil-laahir Rahmaan nir Raheem

Qul yaa-ayyuhal-kafiroon

Laa 'aabudu ma ta'budoon

Wala ana 'Aabidum-ma 'Aabattum

Wala antum 'Aabidoona maa a'bud

Lakum Deenukum wa li-ya deen

In the name of Allah Ta'ala, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful

Please declare (O beloved Muhammad) 'O infidels'

I do not worship that which you worship

Nor do you worship that whom I worship

And I shall never worship what you worship

And nor will you worship that whom I worship

(Therefore) To you your religion and for me my religion

And you see people entering the Religion of Allah in troops

Then celebrate the praise of your Lord and seek His forgiveness. Surely He is most Relenting

Fee jeediha hablum-mim-masad

In the name of Allah Ta'ala, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful

The hands of Abu Lahab (the father of flame) have perished, and he too has perished.

His wealth and what he earned did not profit him

Soon shall he enter into a blazing fire

And his wife too, the carrier of firewood

Around her neck shall be a rope of twisted fibre

And there is none equal to Him

The King of mankind

The God of mankind

From the evil of him who whispers evil designs in the hearts and slinks away

Those who whisper in the hearts of mankind

From among jinn and mankind
