مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍۢ وَاقِعٍۢ ۝١

A questioner asked of a chastisement about to fall

لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌۭ ۝٢

for the unbelievers, which none may avert,

مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ ۝۳

from God, the Lord of the Stairways.

تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍۢ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍۢ ۝٤

To Him the angels and the Spirit mount up, in a day whereof the measure is fifty thousand years.

فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًۭا جَمِيلًا ۝٥

So be thou patient with a sweet patience;

إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًۭا ۝٦

behold, they see it as if far off;

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًۭا ۝۷

but We see it is nigh.

يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ ۝۸

Upon the day when heaven shall be as molten copper

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ۝۹

and the mountains shall be as plucked wool-tufts,

وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًۭا ۝١۰

no loyal friend shall question loyal friend,

يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ ۝١١

as they are given sight of them. The sinner will wish that he might ransom himself from the chastisement of that day even by his sons,

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ ۝١٢

his companion wife, his brother,

وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ ۝١۳

his kin who sheltered him,

وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ ۝١٤

and whosoever is in the earth, all together, so that then it might deliver him.

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ ۝١٥

Nay, verily it is a furnace

نَزَّاعَةًۭ لِّلشَّوَىٰ ۝١٦

snatching away the scalp,

تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ۝١۷

calling him who drew back and turned away,

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ ۝١۸

who amassed and hoarded.

۞ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا ۝١۹

Surely man was created fretful,

إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًۭا ۝٢۰

when evil visits him, impatient,

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا ۝٢١

when good visits him, grudging,

إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ ۝٢٢

save those that pray

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ ۝٢۳

and continue at their prayers,

وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ۝٢٤

those in whose wealth is a right known

لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ ۝٢٥

for the beggar and the outcast,

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٢٦

who confirm the Day of Doom

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ ۝٢۷

and go in fear of the chastisement of their Lord

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍۢ ۝٢۸

(from their Lord's chastisement none feels secure)

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ ۝٢۹

and guard their private parts

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ ۝۳۰

save from their wives and what their right hands own, then not being blameworthy

فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ ۝۳١

(but whoso seeks after more than that, they are the transgressors),

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ ۝۳٢

and who preserve their trusts and their covenant,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ ۝۳۳

and perform their witnessings,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ ۝۳٤

and who observe their prayers.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ مُّكْرَمُونَ ۝۳٥

Those shall be in Gardens, high-honoured.

فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ ۝۳٦

What ails the unbelievers, running with outstretched necks

عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ ۝۳۷

towards thee on the right hand and on the left hand in knots?

أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍۢ ۝۳۸

What, is every man of them eager to be admitted to a Garden of Bliss?

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ ۝۳۹

Not so; for We have created them of what they know.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ ۝٤۰

No! I swear by the Lord of the Easts and Wests, surely We are able

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ۝٤١

to substitute a better than they; We shall not be outstripped.

فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ ۝٤٢

Then leave them alone to plunge and play until they encounter that day of theirs which they are promised,

يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًۭا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍۢ يُوفِضُونَ ۝٤۳

the day they shall come forth from the tombs hastily, as if they were hurrying unto a waymark,

خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ۝٤٤

humbled their eyes, overspreading them abasement. That is the day which they were promised.
