مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ۝١

I CALL TO WITNESS the Day of Resurrection,

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ۝٢

And I call the reprehensive soul to witness:

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ۝۳

Does man think We shall not put his bones together?

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ ۝٤

Surely We are able to reform even his finger-tips.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ۝٥

Yet man is sceptical of what is right before him.

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ۝٦

He asks: "When will the Day of Resurrection be?"

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ ۝۷

Yet when the eyes are dazzled,

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ ۝۸

The moon eclipsed,

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ ۝۹

And the sun and moon are conjoined,

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ ۝١۰

That day man will say: "Where can I find escape?"

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ۝١١

Never so, for there will be no escape.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ ۝١٢

With your Lord alone will be the retreat on that day.

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ۝١۳

Then man will be told what he had sent ahead (of good) and what he had left behind.

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭ ۝١٤

In fact man is a witness against himself,

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ ۝١٥

Whatever the excuses he may offer.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ ۝١٦

Do not forestall (the revelation before its completion) by acting in haste.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ ۝١۷

Surely its collection and recitation are Our responsibility.

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ ۝١۸

So, as We recite it, follow its reading.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ ۝١۹

The exposition of its meaning surely rests on Us.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ ۝٢۰

But no. You love this transient life,

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ ۝٢١

And neglect the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاضِرَةٌ ۝٢٢

How many faces will be refulgent on that Day,

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۭ ۝٢۳

Waiting for their Lord.

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۭ ۝٢٤

And how many faces on that Day will be woe-begone

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌۭ ۝٢٥

Fearing that a great disaster is going to befall them.

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ ۝٢٦

Never so, for when life withdraws into the clavicula,

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢ ۝٢۷

And it is asked: "Is there any reciter of charms and amulets?"

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ ۝٢۸

He will then realise it is the parting,

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ۝٢۹

And anguish will be heaped upon anguish:

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ ۝۳۰

To your Lord then will be the driving.

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ۝۳١

For he neither believed nor prayed,

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ۝۳٢

But only disavowed and turned away;

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ ۝۳۳

Then he strutted back to his people.

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ ۝۳٤

Alas the woe for you, alas!

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ ۝۳٥

Alas, the woe for you!

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ۝۳٦

Does man think that he will be left alone to himself, free?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰ ۝۳۷

Was he not an emitted drop of semen,

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ۝۳۸

Then formed into an embryo? Then He fashioned, shaped and proportioned

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ۝۳۹

And assigned it sexes, male and female.

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۝٤۰

Cannot such as He bring the dead to life?
