مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ ۝١

By the heaven, and the night-visitor,

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ ۝٢

what do you know what the night-visitor is?

ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ ۝۳

It is the piercing star.

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ ۝٤

There is no living being but there is a protector over it.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ۝٥

So let man consider of what he was created.

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ ۝٦

He was created of a gushing fluid,

يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ ۝۷

emanating from between the loins and the ribs.

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ ۝۸

Surely He (the Creator) has the power to bring him back (to life).

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ ۝۹

On the Day when man's deepest secrets shall be put to the test

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ ۝١۰

he shall have no power, and no helper.

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ ۝١١

By the heaven with its recurring cycle of rain,

وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ ۝١٢

and by the earth ever bursting with verdure,

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ ۝١۳

this (Qur'an) is surely a decisive Word,

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ ۝١٤

not a flippant jest.

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا ۝١٥

They are devising a guile,

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا ۝١٦

and I too am devising a guile.

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا ۝١۷

So leave the unbelievers to themselves; respite them awhile.
