مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ۝١

(The Prophet) frowned and turned away,

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ ۝٢

Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ۝۳

But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?-

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ۝٤

Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ۝٥

As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ۝٦

To him dost thou attend;

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ۝۷

Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ۝۸

But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ۝۹

And with fear (in his heart),

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ۝١۰

Of him wast thou unmindful.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ۝١١

By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ۝١٢

Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.

فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ ۝١۳

(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,

مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ ۝١٤

Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ ۝١٥

(Written) by the hands of scribes-

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ ۝١٦

Honourable and Pious and Just.

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ ۝١۷

Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ۝١۸

From what stuff hath He created him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ۝١۹

From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ۝٢۰

Then doth He make His path smooth for him;

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ ۝٢١

Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ۝٢٢

Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ۝٢۳

By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ۝٢٤

Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا ۝٢٥

For that We pour forth water in abundance,

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا ۝٢٦

And We split the earth in fragments,

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا ۝٢۷

And produce therein corn,

وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا ۝٢۸

And Grapes and nutritious plants,

وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا ۝٢۹

And Olives and Dates,

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا ۝۳۰

And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,

وَفَٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا ۝۳١

And fruits and fodder,-

مَّتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ۝۳٢

For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ۝۳۳

At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,-

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ۝۳٤

That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ۝۳٥

And from his mother and his father,

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ۝۳٦

And from his wife and his children.

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ ۝۳۷

Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ ۝۳۸

Some faces that Day will be beaming,

ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ ۝۳۹

Laughing, rejoicing.

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ ۝٤۰

And other faces that Day will be dust-stained,

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ۝٤١

Blackness will cover them:

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ ۝٤٢

Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity.
