مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَقُرْءَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝١

Alif Lam Ra These are the verses of the Scripture, a Quran that makes things clear

رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ مُسْلِمِينَ ۝٢

The disbelievers may well come to wish they had submitted to God

ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا۟ وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ وَيُلْهِهِمُ ٱلْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ۝۳

so [Prophet] leave them to eat and enjoy themselves. Let [false] hopes distract them: they will come to know

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ۝٤

Never have We destroyed a community that did not have a set time

مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ ۝٥

no community can bring its time forward, nor delay it

وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِى نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ ۝٦

They say, ‘Receiver of this Quran! You are definitely mad

لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ۝۷

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you are telling the truth?’

مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِذًۭا مُّنظَرِينَ ۝۸

But We send down the angels only to bring justice and then these people will not be reprieved

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ ۝۹

We have sent down the Quran Ourself, and We Ourself will guard it. Even before you [Prophet]

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى شِيَعِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۰

We sent messengers among the various communities of old

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ۝١١

but they mocked every single messenger that came to them

كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُۥ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۝١٢

in this way We make the message slip through the hearts of evildoers

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ ۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۳

They will not believe in it. That was what happened with the peoples of long ago

وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوا۟ فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ ۝١٤

and even if We opened a gateway into Heaven for them and they rose through it, higher and higher

لَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَٰرُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌۭ مَّسْحُورُونَ ۝١٥

they would still say, ‘Our eyes are hallucinating. We are bewitched.’

وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًۭا وَزَيَّنَّٰهَا لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ ۝١٦

We have set constellations up in the sky and made it beautiful for all to see

وَحَفِظْنَٰهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ رَّجِيمٍ ۝١۷

and guarded it from every stoned satan

إِلَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَرَقَ ٱلسَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝١۸

any eavesdropper will be pursued by a clearly visible flame

وَٱلْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَٰهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ مَّوْزُونٍۢ ۝١۹

As for the earth, We have spread it out, set firm mountains on it, and made everything grow there in due balance

وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَٰيِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُۥ بِرَٰزِقِينَ ۝٢۰

We have provided sustenance in it for you and for all those creatures for whom you do not provide

وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ۝٢١

There is not a thing whose storehouses are not with Us. We send it down only according to a well-defined measure

وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلرِّيَٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۭ فَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ لَهُۥ بِخَٰزِنِينَ ۝٢٢

We send the winds to fertilize, and We bring down water from the sky for you to drink- you do not control its sources

وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْىِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ ۝٢۳

It is We who give life and death; it is We who inherit [everything]

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا ٱلْمُسْتَـْٔخِرِينَ ۝٢٤

We know exactly those of you who come first and those who come later

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌۭ ۝٢٥

[Prophet], it is your Lord who will gather them all together: He is all wise, all knowing

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِن صَلْصَٰلٍۢ مِّنْ حَمَإٍۢ مَّسْنُونٍۢ ۝٢٦

We created man out of dried clay formed from dark mud

وَٱلْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَٰهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ ۝٢۷

the jinn We created before, from the fire of scorching wind

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَٰلِقٌۢ بَشَرًۭا مِّن صَلْصَٰلٍۢ مِّنْ حَمَإٍۢ مَّسْنُونٍۢ ۝٢۸

Your Lord said to the angels, ‘I will create a mortal out of dried clay, formed from dark mud

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ سَٰجِدِينَ ۝٢۹

When I have fashioned him and breathed My spirit into him, bow down before him,’

فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ ۝۳۰

and the angels all did so

إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ ۝۳١

But not Iblis: he refused to bow down like the others

قَالَ يَٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ ۝۳٢

God said, ‘Iblis, why did you not bow down like the others?’

قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن صَلْصَٰلٍۢ مِّنْ حَمَإٍۢ مَّسْنُونٍۢ ۝۳۳

and he answered, ‘I will not bow to a mortal You created from dried clay, formed from dark mud.’

قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌۭ ۝۳٤

‘Get out of here!’ said God. ‘You are an outcast

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ۝۳٥

rejected until the Day of Judgement.’

قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝۳٦

Iblis said, ‘My Lord, give me respite until the Day when they are raised from the dead.’

قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ ۝۳۷

‘You have respite,’ said God

إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمَعْلُومِ ۝۳۸

‘until the Day of the Appointed Time.’

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝۳۹

Iblis then said to God, ‘Because You have put me in the wrong, I will lure mankind on earth and put them in the wrong

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝٤۰

all except Your devoted servants.’

قَالَ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ عَلَىَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ ۝٤١

God said, ‘[Devotion] is a straight path to Me

إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ ۝٤٢

you will have no power over My servants, only over the ones who go astray and follow you

وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٤۳

Hell is the promised place for all these

لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَٰبٍۢ لِّكُلِّ بَابٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌۭ مَّقْسُومٌ ۝٤٤

with seven gates, each gate having its allotted share of them

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ ۝٤٥

But the righteous will be in Gardens with springs

ٱدْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ ۝٤٦

“Enter them in peace and safety!”–&ndash

وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَٰنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ۝٤۷

and We shall remove any bitterness from their hearts: [they will be like] brothers, sitting on couches, face to face

لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌۭ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ ۝٤۸

No weariness will ever touch them there, nor will they ever be expelled.’

۞ نَبِّئْ عِبَادِىٓ أَنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٤۹

[Prophet], tell My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful

وَأَنَّ عَذَابِى هُوَ ٱلْعَذَابُ ٱلْأَلِيمُ ۝٥۰

but My torment is the truly painful one

وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَن ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۝٥١

Tell them too about Abraham’s guests

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًۭا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمْ وَجِلُونَ ۝٥٢

when they came to him and said, ‘Peace,’ he said, ‘We are afraid of you.’

قَالُوا۟ لَا تَوْجَلْ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٍۢ ۝٥۳

‘Do not be afraid,’ they said, ‘We bring you good news of a son who will have great knowledge.’

قَالَ أَبَشَّرْتُمُونِى عَلَىٰٓ أَن مَّسَّنِىَ ٱلْكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُونَ ۝٥٤

He said, ‘How can you give me such news when old age has come to me? What sort of news is this?’

قَالُوا۟ بَشَّرْنَٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْقَٰنِطِينَ ۝٥٥

They said, ‘We have told you the truth, so do not despair.’

قَالَ وَمَن يَقْنَطُ مِن رَّحْمَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ۝٥٦

He said, ‘Who but the misguided despair of the mercy of their Lord?’

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ۝٥۷

and then asked, ‘Messengers, what is your errand?’

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ مُّجْرِمِينَ ۝٥۸

They replied, ‘We have been sent to a people who are guilty.’

إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٥۹

But We shall save the household of Lot

إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرْنَآ ۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ۝٦۰

all except his wife: We have decreed that she will be one of those who stay behind

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ۝٦١

When the messengers came to the household of Lot

قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌۭ مُّنكَرُونَ ۝٦٢

he said, ‘You are strangers.’

قَالُوا۟ بَلْ جِئْنَٰكَ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ ۝٦۳

They said, ‘We have brought you what they said would never happen

وَأَتَيْنَٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ ۝٦٤

we have brought you the Truth. We speak truly

فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱتَّبِعْ أَدْبَٰرَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌۭ وَٱمْضُوا۟ حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ ۝٦٥

so leave in the dead of the night with your household, and walk behind them. Let none of you look back. Go where you are commanded.’

وَقَضَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَقْطُوعٌۭ مُّصْبِحِينَ ۝٦٦

We made this decree known to him: the last remnants of those people would be wiped out in the morning

وَجَآءَ أَهْلُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ۝٦۷

The people of the town came along, revelling

قَالَ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيْفِى فَلَا تَفْضَحُونِ ۝٦۸

and he told them, ‘These are my guests, do not disgrace me

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ ۝٦۹

Fear God, and do not shame me.’

قَالُوٓا۟ أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۷۰

They answered, ‘Have we not told you not to interfere [between us and] anyone else?’

قَالَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِىٓ إِن كُنتُمْ فَٰعِلِينَ ۝۷١

He said, ‘My daughters are here, if you must.’

لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ۝۷٢

By your life [Prophet], they wandered on in their wild intoxicatio

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ ۝۷۳

and the blast overtook them at sunrise

فَجَعَلْنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ ۝۷٤

We turned their city upside down and rained on them a shower of clay stones

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ ۝۷٥

There truly is a sign in this for those who can learn

وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍۢ مُّقِيمٍ ۝۷٦

it is still there on the highway

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝۷۷

there truly is a sign in this for those who believe

وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَٰلِمِينَ ۝۷۸

The forest-dwellers, too, were wrongdoer

فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝۷۹

and We took retribution on them; both are still there on the highway, plain for all to see

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ۝۸۰

The people of al-Hijr also rejected Our messengers

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ ءَايَٰتِنَا فَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ ۝۸١

We gave them Our signs, but they turned their backs

وَكَانُوا۟ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ ۝۸٢

They carved out dwellings in the mountains, and lived in security

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ ۝۸۳

the blast overwhelmed them early in the morning

فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ ۝۸٤

What they had gained was of no use to them

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَءَاتِيَةٌۭ ۖ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ ۝۸٥

We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them without a true purpose: the Hour will certainly come, so [Prophet] bear with them graciously

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْخَلَّٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ۝۸٦

Your Lord is the All Knowing Creator

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَٰكَ سَبْعًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِى وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ ۝۸۷

We have given you the seven oft-recited versesand the whole glorious Quran

لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝۸۸

Do not look longingly at the good things We have given some to enjoy. Do not grieve over the [disbelievers], but lower your wings over the believer

وَقُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ۝۸۹

and say, ‘I am here to give plain warning,’

كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ ۝۹۰

like the [warning] We have sent down for those who divide themselves into band

ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ عِضِينَ ۝۹١

and abuse the Quran–&ndash

فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْـَٔلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝۹٢

by your Lord, We will question them al

عَمَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ۝۹۳

about their deeds

فَٱصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ۝۹٤

So proclaim openly what you have been commanded [to say], and ignore the idolaters

إِنَّا كَفَيْنَٰكَ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِءِينَ ۝۹٥

We are enough for you against all those who ridicule your message

ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ۝۹٦

who set up another god beside God- they will come to know

وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ ۝۹۷

We are well aware that your heart is weighed down by what they say

فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ ۝۹۸

Celebrate the glory of your Lord and be among those who bow down to Him

وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ ۝۹۹

worship your Lord until what is certain comes to you
