مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝١

The true event!

مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝٢

How tremendous is the true event!

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝۳

And what have you understood, how tremendous the true event is!

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ ۝٤

The tribes of Thamud and A’ad denied the event of great dismay. (The Day of Resurrection)

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ ۝٥

So regarding the Thamud, they were destroyed by a terrible scream.

وَأَمَّا عَادٌۭ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِرِيحٍۢ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍۢ ۝٦

And as for A’ad, they were destroyed by a severe thundering windstorm.

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍۢ وَثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًۭا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍۢ ۝۷

He forced it upon them with strength, consecutively for seven nights and eight days – so you would see those people overthrown in it, like trunks of date palms fallen down.

فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍۢ ۝۸

So do you see any survivor among them?

وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ ۝۹

And Firaun, and those before him, and the dwellings that were inverted and thrown, had brought error.

فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةًۭ رَّابِيَةً ۝١۰

They therefore disobeyed the Noble Messengers of their Lord – so He seized them with an intense seizure.

إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ ۝١١

Indeed when the water swelled up, We boarded you onto the ship.

لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةًۭ وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌۭ وَٰعِيَةٌۭ ۝١٢

In order to make it a remembrance for you, and in order that the ears that store may remember.

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ۝١۳

So when the Trumpet will be blown, with a sudden single blow.

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ ۝١٤

And the earth and the mountains will be lifted up and crushed with a single crush.

فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ ۝١٥

So that is the day when the forthcoming event will occur.

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاهِيَةٌۭ ۝١٦

And the heaven will split asunder – so on that day it will be unstable.

وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ ثَمَٰنِيَةٌۭ ۝١۷

And the angels will be on its sides; and on that day, eight angels will carry the Throne of your Lord above them.

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌۭ ۝١۸

On that day all of you will be brought forth, so none among you wishing to hide will be able to hide.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَٰبِيَهْ ۝١۹

So whoever is given his book in his right hand – he will say, “Take, read my account!”

إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢۰

“I was certain that I will confront my account.”

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ ۝٢١

He is therefore in the desired serenity.

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ ۝٢٢

In a lofty Garden –

قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌۭ ۝٢۳

The fruit clusters of which are hanging down.

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ ۝٢٤

“Eat and drink with pleasure – the reward of what you sent ahead, in the past days.”

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهْ ۝٢٥

And whoever is given his book in his left hand – he will say, “Alas, if only my account were not given to me!”

وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢٦

“And had never come to know my account!”

يَٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ ۝٢۷

“Alas, if only it had been just death.”

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ ۜ ۝٢۸

“My wealth did not in the least benefit me.”

هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَٰنِيَهْ ۝٢۹

“All my power has vanished.”

خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ ۝۳۰

It will be said, “Seize him, and shackle him.”

ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ ۝۳١

“Then hurl him into the blazing fire.”

ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍۢ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًۭا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ ۝۳٢

“Then bind him inside a chain which is seventy arm-lengths.”

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝۳۳

“Indeed he refused to accept faith in Allah, the Greatest.”

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ۝۳٤

“And did not urge to feed the needy.”

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌۭ ۝۳٥

“So he does not have any friend here this day.”

وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍۢ ۝۳٦

“Nor any food except the pus discharged from the people of hell.”

لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ ۝۳۷

“Which none except the guilty shall eat.”

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝۳۸

So by oath of the things you see.

وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝۳۹

And by oath of those you do not see.

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝٤۰

This Qur’an is the speech of Allah with a gracious Noble Messenger.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ ۝٤١

And it is not the speech of a poet; how little do you believe!

وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤٢

Nor is it the speech of a soothsayer; how little do you ponder!

تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٤۳

Sent down by the Lord Of The Creation.

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ ۝٤٤

And had he fabricated just one matter upon Us –

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٤٥

We would have definitely taken revenge from him.

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ ۝٤٦

Then would have cut off his heart’s artery.

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ ۝٤۷

Then none among you would be his saviour.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌۭ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ۝٤۸

And indeed this Qur’an is an advice for the pious.

وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ ۝٤۹

And indeed We know that some among you are deniers.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ۝٥۰

And indeed it is a despair for the disbelievers.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ ۝٥١

And indeed it is a certain Truth.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٥٢

Therefore (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), proclaim the purity of your Lord, the Greatest.
