مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ۝١

I CALL THIS earth to witness --

وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ۝٢

And you are free to live upon it, --

وَوَالِدٍۢ وَمَا وَلَدَ ۝۳

And the parent and the offspring,

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ ۝٤

That We created man in toil and trouble.

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٥

Does he think that no one has power over him?

يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًۭا لُّبَدًا ۝٦

He says: "I have wasted a great deal of wealth."

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ ۝۷

Does he think that no one sees him?

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْنِ ۝۸

Did We not give him two eyes,

وَلِسَانًۭا وَشَفَتَيْنِ ۝۹

One tongue, and two lips,

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجْدَيْنِ ۝١۰

And showed him two highways (of good and evil)?

فَلَا ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلْعَقَبَةَ ۝١١

But he could not scale the steep ascent.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْعَقَبَةُ ۝١٢

How will you comprehend what the Steep ascent is? --

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ۝١۳

To free a neck (from the burden of debt or slavery),

أَوْ إِطْعَٰمٌۭ فِى يَوْمٍۢ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍۢ ۝١٤

Or to feed in times of famine

يَتِيمًۭا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ۝١٥

The orphan near in relationship,

أَوْ مِسْكِينًۭا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍۢ ۝١٦

Or the poor in distress;

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ ۝١۷

And to be of those who believe, and urge upon one another to persevere, and urge upon each other to be kind.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ ۝١۸

They are the people of the right hand (and will succeed).

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ ۝١۹

But those who deny Our revelations are the people of the left hand:

عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌۭ مُّؤْصَدَةٌۢ ۝٢۰

The Fire will vault them over.
