مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًۭا ۝١

By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers and the wicked) with great violence;

وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًۭا ۝٢

By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers);

وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًۭا ۝۳

And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits, etc.).

فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًۭا ۝٤

And by those that press forward as in a race (i.e. the angels or stars or the horses, etc.).

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا ۝٥

And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers will be called to account).

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ۝٦

On the Day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is blown), the earth and the mountains will shake violently (and everybody will die),

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ۝۷

The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody will be raised up),

قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ ۝۸

(Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety.

أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌۭ ۝۹

Their eyes cast down.

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ۝١۰

They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life?

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ ۝١١

"Even after we are crumbled bones?"

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ ۝١٢

They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!"

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ۝١۳

But only, it will be a single Zajrah [shout (i.e., the second blowing of the Trumpet)]. (See Verse 37:19).

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ۝١٤

When, behold, they find themselves over the earth alive after their death,

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ۝١٥

Has there come to you the story of Musa (Moses)?

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ۝١٦

When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ۝١۷

Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.).

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ۝١۸

And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)",

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ۝١۹

And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him?

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ۝٢۰

Then [Musa (Moses)] showed him the great sign (miracles).

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ۝٢١

But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] belied and disobeyed;

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ۝٢٢

Then he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ۝٢۳

Then he gathered his people and cried aloud,

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ۝٢٤

Saying: "I am your lord, most high",

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ۝٢٥

So Allah, seized him with punishment for his last [i.e. his saying: "I am your lord, most high") (see Verse 79:24)] and first [(i.e. his saying, "O chiefs! I know not that you have a god other than I" (see Verse 28:38)] transgression.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ۝٢٦

Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah.

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ۝٢۷

Are you more difficult to create, or is the heaven that He constructed?

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ۝٢۸

He raised its height, and He has equally ordered it,

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ۝٢۹

Its night He covers with darkness, and its forenoon He brings out (with light).

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ۝۳۰

And after that He spread the earth;

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا ۝۳١

And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture;

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا ۝۳٢

And the mountains He has fixed firmly;

مَتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ۝۳۳

(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ۝۳٤

But when there comes the greatest catastrophe (i.e. the Day of Recompense, etc.),

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ۝۳٥

The Day when man shall remember what he strove for,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ۝۳٦

And Hell-fire shall be made apparent in full view for (every) one who sees,

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ۝۳۷

Then, for him who Tagha (transgressed all bounds, in disbelief, oppression and evil deeds of disobedience to Allah).

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۝۳۸

And preferred the life of this world (by following his evil desires and lusts),

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ۝۳۹

Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire;

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ۝٤۰

But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires, and lusts.

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ۝٤١

Verily, Paradise will be his abode.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ۝٤٢

They ask you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) about the Hour, - when will be its appointed time?

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ۝٤۳

You have no knowledge to say anything about it,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ۝٤٤

To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof?

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ۝٤٥

You (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) are only a warner for those who fear it,

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ۝٤٦

The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not tarried (in this world) except an afternoon or a morning.
