مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍۢ وَاقِعٍۢ ۝١

Someone has (needlessly) demanded to experience the torment (of God),

لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌۭ ۝٢

which will inevitably seize the disbelievers.

مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ ۝۳

No one can defend him against God, the Lord of the exalted positions.

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

On that Day (of Judgment), long as fifty thousand years, the angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him.

فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًۭا جَمِيلًا ۝٥

(Muhammad), exercise patience with no complaints.

إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًۭا ۝٦

They think that it (the Day of Judgment) is far away.

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًۭا ۝۷

but We see it to be very near.

يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ ۝۸

On the day when the heavens become like molten metal.

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ۝۹

and the mountains become like wool,

وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًۭا ۝١۰

even intimate friends will not inquire about their friends,

يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ ۝١١

though they may see each other. A sinner will wish that he could save himself from the torment of that day by sacrificing his children,

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ ۝١٢

his wife, his brother,

وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ ۝١۳

his kinsmen who gave him refuge (from hardship)

وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ ۝١٤

and all those on earth.

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ ۝١٥

By no means! For the raging flames of the fire

نَزَّاعَةًۭ لِّلشَّوَىٰ ۝١٦

will strip-off the flesh

تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ۝١۷

and drag into it anyone who has turned away (from obeying God),

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ ۝١۸

and who accumulated wealth without spending it for a good purpose.

۞ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا ۝١۹

Human beings are created greedy.

إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًۭا ۝٢۰

When they are afflicted, they complain,

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا ۝٢١

but when they are fortunate, they become niggardly

إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ ۝٢٢

except those who are steadfast

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ ۝٢۳

and constant in their prayers.

وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ۝٢٤

They are those who assign a certain share of their property

لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ ۝٢٥

for the needy and the deprived,

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٢٦

who acknowledge the Day of Judgment,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ ۝٢۷

who are afraid of the torment of their Lord,

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍۢ ۝٢۸

the punishment of their Lord is not something for them to feel secure of,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ ۝٢۹

who guard their carnal desires

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

except from their wives and slave girls, in which case they are not to be blamed,

فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ ۝۳١

but whoever goes beyond this is a transgressor;

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ ۝۳٢

who honor their trust and promises,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ ۝۳۳

who testify to what they have witnessed,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ ۝۳٤

and (finally) those who do not miss their ritual - prayers at the prescribed times;

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ مُّكْرَمُونَ ۝۳٥

such people will receive due honor in Paradise.

فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ ۝۳٦

What is wrong with the disbelievers who roam around you (Muhammad),

عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ ۝۳۷

left and right, in numerous groups?

أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍۢ ۝۳۸

Does every one of them desire to enter the bountiful Paradise?

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ ۝۳۹

By no means! For they know very well out of what We have created them (The human being's naturally growing from a living germ, without discipline and good deeds will not result in virtue).

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ ۝٤۰

I do not need to swear by the Lord of the eastern and western regions that We have certainly all the power

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ۝٤١

to replace them by a better people and none can challenge Our power.

فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ ۝٤٢

(Muhammad), leave them alone to dispute and play until they face the Day with which they have been threatened:

يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًۭا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍۢ يُوفِضُونَ ۝٤۳

the Day when they rush out of their graves as if racing towards a signpost,

خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ۝٤٤

with their eyes cast down and covered by disgrace; the day about which they were promised.
