مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْفَجْرِ ۝١

I CALL TO witness the dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ ۝٢

And the Ten Nights,

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ ۝۳

The multiple and the one,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ۝٤

The night as it advances,

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ ۝٥

Is there not an evidence in this for those who have sense?

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ۝٦

Have you not seen what your Lord did to the 'Ad

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ ۝۷

Of Eram with lofty pillars (erected as signposts in the desert),

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ۝۸

The like of whom were never created in the realm;

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ ۝۹

And with Thamud who carved rocks in the valley;

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ ۝١۰

And the mighty Pharaoh

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ۝١١

Who terrorised the region,

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ ۝١٢

And multiplied corruption.

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ۝١۳

So your Lord poured a scourge of punishment over them.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ ۝١٤

Your Lord is certainly in wait.

فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ ۝١٥

As for man, whenever his Lord tries him and then is gracious and provides good things for him, he says: "My Lord has been gracious to me."

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ ۝١٦

But when He tries him by restraining his means, he says: "My Lord despises me."

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ ۝١۷

No. In fact you are not generous to the orphans,

وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ۝١۸

Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا ۝١۹

And you devour (others') inheritance greedily,

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا ۝٢۰

And love wealth with all your heart.

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا ۝٢١

Surely when We pound the earth to powder grounded, pounded to dust,

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا ۝٢٢

And comes your Lord, and angels row on row,

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ۝٢۳

And Hell is brought near, that day will man remember, but of what avail will then remembering be?

يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى ۝٢٤

He will say: "Alas the woe! Would that I had sent ahead something in my life."

فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٢٥

None can punish as He will punish on that day,

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٢٦

And none can bind as He will bind.

يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ۝٢۷

O you tranquil soul,

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ ۝٢۸

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and well-pleasing Him.

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى ۝٢۹

"Enter then among My votaries,

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى ۝۳۰

Enter then My garden."
