مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ ۝١

I CALL TO witness the heavens and the night Star --

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ ۝٢

How will you comprehend what the night star is?

ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ ۝۳

It is the star that shines with a piercing brightness --

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ ۝٤

That over each soul there is a guardian.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ۝٥

Let man consider what he was made of:

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ ۝٦

He was created of spurting water

يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ ۝۷

Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs.

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ ۝۸

God has certainly power to bring him back (from the dead).

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ ۝۹

The day all secrets are examined

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ ۝١۰

He will have no strength or helper.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ ۝١١

So I call to witness the rain-producing sky,

وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ ۝١٢

And the earth which opens up (with verdure),

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ ۝١۳

That this (Qur'an) is a decisive word

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ ۝١٤

And no trifle.

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا ۝١٥

They are hatching up a plot,

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا ۝١٦

But I too am devising a plan.

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا ۝١۷

So bear with unbelievers with patience, and give them respite for a while.
