مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ حمٓ ۝١

Ha'. Mim.

وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ۝٢

By the Clear Book.

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ ۝۳

We revealed it on a Blessed Night, for We were intent on warning;

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ ۝٤

(We revealed it on the Night) wherein every matter is wisely determined

أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ ۝٥

by Our command. Verily, We were set to send a Messenger

رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ۝٦

as a Mercy from your Lord. Surely He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing,

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ۝۷

the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them: if you would only have sure faith.

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝۸

There is no god but He: He gives life and causes death. He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers of yore.

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ ۝۹

(But the fact is, they lack certainty) and frolic about in doubt.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝١۰

So watch for the Day when the sky will come down with a pall of smoke,

يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ ۝١١

enveloping people. That will be a grievous scourge.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ ۝١٢

(People will then say): “Our Lord, remove this scourge from us; we shall believe.”

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝١۳

But how will they take heed? Such are they that a Messenger came to them clearly expounding the Truth,

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ ۝١٤

yet they turned away from him and said: “This is a well-tutored madman.”

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ ۝١٥

Yet We will hold the scourge back for a while, (but no sooner than We will do so) you will revert to your old ways.

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ ۝١٦

The Day when We shall seize them with a mighty seizing, that will be the Day on which We shall inflict upon you full retribution.

۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ ۝١۷

Indeed before that We subjected the Pharaonites to the same test. A noble Messenger came to them

أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١۸

(and said): “Deliver to me Allah's servants. I am a trustworthy Messenger to you,

وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝١۹

and do not exalt yourselves in defiance of Allah. I have come to you with a clear authority (as a Messenger).

وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ ۝٢۰

I have taken refuge with my Lord and your Lord lest you should attack me with stones.

وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ ۝٢١

But if you do not believe what I say, leave me alone (and desist from laying hands on me).”

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ ۝٢٢

Then he called upon his Lord: “These are a criminal people.”

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ۝٢۳

(He was told): “Set out with My servants by night for you will certainly be pursued.

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ ۝٢٤

And leave the sea behind you as calm as ever. Surely they are an army that is doomed to be drowned.”

كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝٢٥

How many gardens did they leave behind, and how many fountains

وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝٢٦

and sown fields and splendid mansions,

وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ ۝٢۷

and the life of ease in which they took delight!

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ ۝٢۸

Thus it was; and We made another people inherit all that.

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ ۝٢۹

Then neither the sky shed tears over them nor the earth. They were granted no respite.

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ ۝۳۰

Thus did We deliver the Children of Israel from the humiliating chastisement,

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ۝۳١

from Pharaoh who was most prominent among the prodigals.

وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۳٢

We knowingly exalted them (i.e., the Children of Israel) above other peoples of the world

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ ۝۳۳

and bestowed upon them the Signs wherein lay an evident test for them.

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝۳٤

Indeed these people say:

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ ۝۳٥

“This is our first and only death, and we shall never be raised again.

فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ۝۳٦

Bring back to us our fathers if you are truthful.”

أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ ۝۳۷

Are these better or the people of Tubba and those who went before them? We destroyed them for they were a criminal people.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ ۝۳۸

It was not in idle sport that We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them.

مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۝۳۹

We did not create them except in Truth. But most of them do not know.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٤۰

The Day of Final Decision is the appointed time for all;

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًۭى شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ۝٤١

the Day when a friend shall be of no avail to his friend nor shall they be helped,

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٤٢

except those to whom Allah shows mercy. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Compassionate.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ۝٤۳

The tree of al-Zaqqum

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ ۝٤٤

shall be the food of the sinful.

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ ۝٤٥

Like dregs of oil, it will boil in their bellies

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ ۝٤٦

like boiling water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٤۷

“Seize him and drag him to the middle of the Blazing Fire,

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ ۝٤۸

then pour boiling water over his head as chastisement.

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ ۝٤۹

Taste this, you are a person mighty and noble!

إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ ۝٥۰

This is what you used to doubt.”

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍۢ ۝٥١

Verily the God-fearing shall be in a secure place

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝٥٢

amidst gardens and springs.

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ۝٥۳

Attired in silk and brocade, they shall be arrayed face to face.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ ۝٥٤

Thus shall it be: and We shall espouse them to fair, wide-eyed maidens.

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ ۝٥٥

While resting in security, they shall call for all kinds of fruit.

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٥٦

They shall not taste death except the death in this world. And Allah will save them from the chastisement of Hell

فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ۝٥۷

as a favour from your Lord. That is the great triumph.

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٥۸

(O Prophet), We have made this Book easy in your tongue so that they may take heed.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ ۝٥۹

Wait, then; they too are waiting.
