مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًۭا ۝١

I CALL TO WITNESS those who dive and drag,

وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًۭا ۝٢

And those who undo the bonds gently,

وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًۭا ۝۳

And those who glide swimmingly,

فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًۭا ۝٤

Then outpace the others swiftly

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا ۝٥

And direct affairs by command,

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ۝٦

The day the convulsive (first blast) shatters convulsively

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ۝۷

Followed by the second blast,

قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ ۝۸

Hearts will pound loudly on that day,

أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌۭ ۝۹

Eyes be lowered in submission.

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ۝١۰

They say: "Shall we go back to our original state

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ ۝١١

After having turned to carious bones?"

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ ۝١٢

They say: "Then this returning will be a dead loss."

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ۝١۳

It will only be a single blast,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ۝١٤

And they will wake up suddenly.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ۝١٥

Has the story of Moses come to you

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ۝١٦

When his Lord called to him in Tuwa's holy vale?

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ۝١۷

"Go to the Pharaoh who has become refractory,

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ۝١۸

And say: 'Would you like to grow (in virtue)?

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ۝١۹

Then I will guide you to your Lord that you may come to fear Him.'"

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ۝٢۰

So he showed him the greater sign;

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ۝٢١

But (the Pharaoh) disavowed and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ۝٢٢

Then he turned away, deliberating,

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ۝٢۳

And assembled (his council) and proclaimed,

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ۝٢٤

Saying: "I am alone your lord, the highest of them all."

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ۝٢٥

So God seized him for the punishment of the Hereafter and this world.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ۝٢٦

Truly there is a lesson in this for those who fear (the consequences).

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ۝٢۷

Are you more difficult to create or the heavens? He built it,

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ۝٢۸

Raised it high, proportioned it,

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ۝٢۹

Gave darkness to its night, and brightness to its day;

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ۝۳۰

And afterwards spread out the earth.

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا ۝۳١

He brought out its water and its pastures from it,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا ۝۳٢

And stabilized the mountains

مَتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ۝۳۳

As convenience for you and your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ۝۳٤

When the great calamity comes,

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ۝۳٥

The day when man remembers all that he had done,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ۝۳٦

And Hell made visible to him who can see,

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ۝۳۷

Then he who had been rebellious

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۝۳۸

And who preferred the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ۝۳۹

Will surely have Hell for his abode.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ۝٤۰

But he who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained his self from vain desires,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ۝٤١

Will surely have Paradise for abode.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ۝٤٢

They ask you: "When will the Hour be? When is its time fixed?"

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ۝٤۳

What do you have to do with explaining it?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ۝٤٤

The extent of its knowledge goes to your Lord.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ۝٤٥

Your duty is only to warn him who fears it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ۝٤٦

The day they see it, it will seem they had stayed in the world but only an evening or its turning into dawn.
