مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ۝١

WHEN THE SUN is folded up,

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ ۝٢

The stars turn dim and scatter,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ ۝۳

The mountains made to move,

وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ۝٤

The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned,

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ ۝٥

The wild beasts stampede on the run,

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ ۝٦

When the oceans surge and swell,

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ ۝۷

When souls are reunited (with the bodies)

وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ ۝۸

And the little girl buried alive is asked

بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍۢ قُتِلَتْ ۝۹

For what crime she was put to death;

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ ۝١۰

When the ledgers are laid open,

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ ۝١١

The curtain drawn back from the skies,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ ۝١٢

When Hell is set ablaze,

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ ۝١۳

And Paradise brought near,

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ ۝١٤

(Then) every soul will know what it had prepared (for itself).

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ ۝١٥

So, I call the receding stars to witness,

ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ ۝١٦

The planets withdrawing into themselves,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ ۝١۷

The closing night,

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ۝١۸

The rising dawn,

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝١۹

That this is indeed the word of an honoured Messenger,

ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍۢ ۝٢۰

Full of power, well-established (in position) with the Lord and Master of the Throne,

مُّطَاعٍۢ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍۢ ۝٢١

Obeyed and worthy there of trust.

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍۢ ۝٢٢

Your companion is not mad.

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ۝٢۳

He had surely seen Him on the clear horizon.

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍۢ ۝٢٤

He is not chary of making public what is unknown.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ رَّجِيمٍۢ ۝٢٥

This is not the utterance of an accursed devil.

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ ۝٢٦

So whither do you stray?

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٢۷

This is a reminder for all the peoples of the world,

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ ۝٢۸

For those of you who desire to walk the path that is straight,

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٢۹

Though you cannot desire except as God will, the Lord of all the worlds.
