مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ۝١

Read with the name of your Lord Who created,

خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ ۝٢

Created man from a clot.

ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ ۝۳

Read, and your Lord only is the Most Beneficent,

ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ ۝٤

The One Who taught to write with the pen.

عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ ۝٥

The One Who taught man all what he did not know.

كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ ۝٦

Yes indeed, man is surely rebellious.

أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ ۝۷

As he considers himself independent!

إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ ۝۸

Indeed towards your Lord only is the return.

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ ۝۹

What is your opinion – regarding him who forbids –

عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ ۝١۰

A bondman when he offers the prayer?

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ ۝١١

What is your opinion – if he were upon guidance,

أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ ۝١٢

He would enjoin piety, so how good it would be!

أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ۝١۳

What is your opinion – if he denies and turns away, how wretched will be his state!

أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ ۝١٤

Did he not realise that Allah is watching?

كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ ۝١٥

Yes certainly, if he does not desist, We will seize him by the forelock.

نَاصِيَةٍۢ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍۢ ۝١٦

A forelock that lies, is sinful.

فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ ۝١۷

So let him now call his gang!

سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ ۝١۸

We will now call the guards!

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩ ۝١۹

Yes indeed; do not listen to him – and prostrate, and become close to Us. (Command of Prostration # 14)
