مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ ۝١

WHEN THE SKY is cleft asunder,

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ۝٢

And hearkens to its Lord and is dutiful,

وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ ۝۳

When the earth is stretched out taut

وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ ۝٤

And throws out whatever it contains and is empty,

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ۝٥

And hearkens to its Lord and is dutiful,

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًۭا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ ۝٦

O man, you have to strive and go on striving towards your Lord, then will you meet Him.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ ۝۷

And he who is given his ledger in his right hand

فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًۭا يَسِيرًۭا ۝۸

Will have an easy reckoning,

وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًۭا ۝۹

And will return to his people full of joy.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ ۝١۰

But he who is given his ledger from behind his back

فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًۭا ۝١١

Will pray for death,

وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا ۝١٢

But will be roasted in the fire.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا ۝١۳

He lived rejoicing among his people,

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ ۝١٤

Never thinking he will return.

بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًۭا ۝١٥

Why not? His Lord was always watching him.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ ۝١٦

So indeed I call to witness the evening twilight,

وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ ۝١۷

And the night and all it gathers,

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ ۝١۸

And the moon when at the full,

لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍۢ ۝١۹

That you will climb from stage to stage.

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ۝٢۰

So, wherefore do they not believe?

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ۝٢١

And when the Qur'an is recited to them do not bow in adoration?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ ۝٢٢

In fact the unbelievers disavow.

وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ۝٢۳

But God knows what they harbour in their breasts.

فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ۝٢٤

So give them news of painful punishment,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ ۝٢٥

Except those who believe and do the right: For them there is reward unending.
