مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ۝١

He frowned and turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ ۝٢

that the blind man came to him.

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ۝۳

How could you know? Perhaps he would cleanse himself,

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ۝٤

or he might be mindful and good counsel might avail him.

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ۝٥

Now he who waxes indifferent,

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ۝٦

you attend to him,

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ۝۷

though you are not to blame if he would not cleanse himself.

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ۝۸

But he who comes to you running,

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ۝۹

and fears (Allah),

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ۝١۰

you pay no heed to him.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ۝١١

No indeed; this is only a Reminder.

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ۝١٢

So whoso wills may give heed to it.

فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ ۝١۳

It is contained in scrolls highly honoured,

مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ ۝١٤

most exalted and purified,

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ ۝١٥

borne by the hands of scribes,

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ ۝١٦

noble and purified.

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ ۝١۷

Accursed be man! How stubbornly he denies the Truth.

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ۝١۸

Out of what did Allah create him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ۝١۹

Out of a sperm-drop did He create him and then determined a measure for him,

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ۝٢۰

and then made the course of life easy for him,

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ ۝٢١

then He caused him to die and brought him to the grave,

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ۝٢٢

and then, whenever He wishes, He will raise him back to life.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ۝٢۳

Nay, but man did not fulfil what Allah had enjoined upon him.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ۝٢٤

So let man just consider his food:

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا ۝٢٥

We poured water, pouring it in great abundance,

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا ۝٢٦

and cleaved the earth, cleaving it asunder;

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا ۝٢۷

then caused the grain to grow out of it,

وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا ۝٢۸

together with grapes and vegetables,

وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا ۝٢۹

and olives and palms,

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا ۝۳۰

and dense orchards,

وَفَٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا ۝۳١

and fruits and pastures –

مَّتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ۝۳٢

all this as a provision for you and your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ۝۳۳

But when the deafening cry shall be sounded

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ۝۳٤

on the Day when each man shall flee from his brother,

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ۝۳٥

and his mother and his father;

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ۝۳٦

and his consort and his children;

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ ۝۳۷

on that Day each will be occupied with his own business, making him oblivious of all save himself.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ ۝۳۸

Some faces on that Day shall be beaming with happiness,

ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ ۝۳۹

and be cheerful and joyous.

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ ۝٤۰

Some faces on that Day shall be dust-ridden,

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ۝٤١

enveloped by darkness.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ ۝٤٢

These will be the unbelievers, the wicked.
