مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ۝١

I swear by this city–&ndash

وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ۝٢

and you [Prophet] are an inhabitant of this city–&ndash

وَوَالِدٍۢ وَمَا وَلَدَ ۝۳

[I swear] by parent and offspring

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ ۝٤

that We have created man for toil and trial

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٥

Does he think that no one will have power over him

يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًۭا لُّبَدًا ۝٦

‘I have squandered great wealth,’ he says

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ ۝۷

Does he think no one observes him

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْنِ ۝۸

Did We not give him eyes

وَلِسَانًۭا وَشَفَتَيْنِ ۝۹

a tongue, lips

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجْدَيْنِ ۝١۰

and point out to him the two clear ways [of good and evil]

فَلَا ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلْعَقَبَةَ ۝١١

Yet he has not attempted the steep path

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْعَقَبَةُ ۝١٢

What will explain to you what the steep path is

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ۝١۳

It is to free a slave

أَوْ إِطْعَٰمٌۭ فِى يَوْمٍۢ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍۢ ۝١٤

to feed at a time of hunge

يَتِيمًۭا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ۝١٥

an orphaned relativ

أَوْ مِسْكِينًۭا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍۢ ۝١٦

or a poor person in distress

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ ۝١۷

and to be one of those who believe and urge one another to steadfastness and compassion

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ ۝١۸

Those who do this will be on the right-hand side

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ ۝١۹

but those who disbelieve in Our revelations will be on the left-hand side

عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌۭ مُّؤْصَدَةٌۢ ۝٢۰

and the Fire will close in on them
