مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ حمٓ ۝١

Ha-Meem. (Alphabets of the Arabic language – Allah, and to whomever He reveals, know their precise meanings.)

وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ۝٢

By oath of this clear Book.

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ ۝۳

We have indeed sent it down in a blessed night – indeed it is We Who warn.

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ ۝٤

During it are distributed all the works of wisdom.

أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ ۝٥

By a command from Us – indeed it is We Who send.

رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ۝٦

A mercy from your Lord; indeed He only is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ۝۷

The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; if you people believe.

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝۸

There is no worship except for Him – He gives life and causes death; your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ ۝۹

Rather they are in doubt, playing.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝١۰

So you await the day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke. –

يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ ۝١١

Which will envelop the people; this is a painful punishment.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ ۝١٢

Thereupon they will say, “O our Lord! Remove the punishment from us – we now accept faith.”

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝١۳

How is it possible for them to accept guidance, whereas a Noble Messenger who speaks clearly has already come to them?

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ ۝١٤

Whereas they had then turned away from him and said, “He is a madman, tutored!”?

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ ۝١٥

We now remove the punishment for some days – so you will again commit the same.

يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ ۝١٦

The day when We will seize with the greatest seizure – We will indeed take revenge.

۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ ۝١۷

And before them We indeed tried the people of Firaun, and an Honourable Noble Messenger came to them.

أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ ۝١۸

Who said, “Give the bondmen of Allah into my custody; I am indeed a trustworthy Noble Messenger for you.”

وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝١۹

And saying, “And do not rebel against Allah; I have brought a clear proof to you.”

وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ ۝٢۰

“And I take the refuge of my Lord and yours, against your stoning me.”

وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ ۝٢١

“And if you do not believe in me, then have no relation with me.”

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ ۝٢٢

He therefore prayed to his Lord, “These are a guilty nation!”

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ ۝٢۳

We commanded him, “Journey with My bondmen in a part of the night – you will be pursued.”

وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ ۝٢٤

“And leave the sea as it is, parted in several places; indeed that army will be drowned.”

كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝٢٥

How many gardens and water-springs they left behind!

وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝٢٦

And fields and grand palaces!

وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ ۝٢۷

And favours amongst which they were rejoicing!

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ ۝٢۸

That is what We did; and We made another nation their heirs.

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ ۝٢۹

So the heavens and the earth did not weep for them, and they were not given respite.

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ ۝۳۰

And indeed We rescued the Descendants of Israel from a disgraceful torture.

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ۝۳١

From Firaun; he was indeed proud, among the transgressors.

وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝۳٢

And We knowingly chose them, among all others of their time.

وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ ۝۳۳

And We gave them signs in which lay clear favours.

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ ۝۳٤

Indeed these disbelievers proclaim; –

إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ ۝۳٥

“There is nothing except our dying just once, and we will not be raised.”

فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ۝۳٦

“Therefore bring back our forefathers, if you are truthful!”

أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ ۝۳۷

Are they better, or the people of Tubba? And those who were before them? We destroyed them; they were indeed criminals.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ ۝۳۸

And We did not create the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, just for play.

مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۝۳۹

We did not create them except with the truth, but most of them do not know.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٤۰

Indeed the Day of Decision is the appointment for all of them.

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًۭى شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ۝٤١

The day on which, no friends will benefit each other at all, nor will they be helped. (Except those who are pious – see verse 43:67)

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٤٢

Except those upon whom Allah has mercy; indeed He only is the Most Honourable, the Most Merciful.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ ۝٤۳

Indeed the tree of Zaqqum, –

طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ ۝٤٤

Is the food of the sinners.

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ ۝٤٥

Like molten copper; it churns in their bellies.

كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ ۝٤٦

Like the churning of boiling water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٤۷

“Seize him, and forcibly drag him right to the blazing fire.”

ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ ۝٤۸

“Then pour on his head the punishment of boiling water.”

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ ۝٤۹

Saying “Taste it! Indeed you only are the most honourable, the dignified!”

إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ ۝٥۰

“Indeed this is what you used to doubt about.”

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍۢ ۝٥١

Indeed the pious are in a place of peace.

فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ۝٥٢

In Gardens and water-springs.

يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ ۝٥۳

They will be dressed in fine silk and embroidery, facing one another (on thrones).

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ ۝٥٤

So it is; and We have wedded them to maidens with gorgeous eyes.

يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ ۝٥٥

In it they will ask for all kinds of fruit, with safety.

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝٥٦

They will not taste death again in it, except their former death; and Allah has saved them from the punishment of fire.

فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ۝٥۷

By the munificence of your Lord; this is the great success.

فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٥۸

And We have made this Qur’an easy in your language, for them to understand.

فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ ۝٥۹

Therefore wait (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) – they too are waiting.
