مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ ۝١

The Last Day came near, and the moon split apart.

وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ ءَايَةًۭ يُعْرِضُوا۟ وَيَقُولُوا۟ سِحْرٌۭ مُّسْتَمِرٌّۭ ۝٢

And when they see a sign, they turn away and say, “Just a customary magic!”

وَكَذَّبُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍۢ مُّسْتَقِرٌّۭ ۝۳

And they denied and followed their own desires, whereas each matter has been decided!

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزْدَجَرٌ ۝٤

And indeed the news which had a lot of deterrence, came to them.

حِكْمَةٌۢ بَٰلِغَةٌۭ ۖ فَمَا تُغْنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ ۝٥

The pinnacle of wisdom – so how will the Heralds of warning provide any benefit?

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ۘ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ ٱلدَّاعِ إِلَىٰ شَىْءٍۢ نُّكُرٍ ۝٦

Therefore turn away from them; on the day when the announcer will call towards a severe unknown matter –

خُشَّعًا أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌۭ مُّنتَشِرٌۭ ۝۷

They will come out from the graves with eyes lowered, as if they were spread locusts.

مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌۭ ۝۸

Rushing towards the caller; the disbelievers will say, “This is a tough day.”

۞ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍۢ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌۭ وَٱزْدُجِرَ ۝۹

Before these, the people of Nooh denied and they belied Our bondman and said, “He is a madman” and rebuffed him.

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَغْلُوبٌۭ فَٱنتَصِرْ ۝١۰

He therefore prayed to his Lord, “I am overpowered, therefore avenge me.”

فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍۢ مُّنْهَمِرٍۢ ۝١١

We therefore opened the gates of heaven, with water flowing furiously.

وَفَجَّرْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ عُيُونًۭا فَٱلْتَقَى ٱلْمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍۢ قَدْ قُدِرَ ۝١٢

And caused springs to gush out from the earth, so that the two waters met totalling a quantity that had been destined.

وَحَمَلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلْوَٰحٍۢ وَدُسُرٍۢ ۝١۳

And We carried Nooh upon a ship of wooden planks and nails.

تَجْرِى بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءًۭ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ ۝١٤

Sailing in front of Our sight; as a reward for the sake of one who was rejected.

وَلَقَد تَّرَكْنَٰهَآ ءَايَةًۭ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ ۝١٥

And We left it as a sign – so is there one who would ponder?

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝١٦

So how did My punishment turn out, and My threats?

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ ۝١۷

And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember?

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌۭ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝١۸

The tribe of A’ad denied – so how did My punishment turn out, and My warnings?

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًۭا صَرْصَرًۭا فِى يَوْمِ نَحْسٍۢ مُّسْتَمِرٍّۢ ۝١۹

We indeed sent towards them a severe windstorm, on a day the ill luck of which lasted upon them forever.

تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍۢ مُّنقَعِرٍۢ ۝٢۰

Smashing down men as if they were uprooted trunks of date palms.

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝٢١

So how did My punishment turn out, and My warnings?

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ ۝٢٢

And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember?

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝٢۳

The tribe of Thamud denied the Noble Messengers.

فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرًۭا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدًۭا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًۭا لَّفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ وَسُعُرٍ ۝٢٤

So they said, “What! Shall we follow a man from among us? If we do, we are indeed astray, and insane!”

أَءُلْقِىَ ٱلذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌۭ ۝٢٥

“What! Of all the men among us, the remembrance has come down upon him? In fact, he is a mischievous, great liar.”

سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًۭا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ ۝٢٦

It was said to Saleh, “They will soon realise tomorrow who is the mischievous great liar.”

إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةًۭ لَّهُمْ فَٱرْتَقِبْهُمْ وَٱصْطَبِرْ ۝٢۷

“We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.”

وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلْمَآءَ قِسْمَةٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍۢ مُّحْتَضَرٌۭ ۝٢۸

“And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.”

فَنَادَوْا۟ صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ ۝٢۹

In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel.

فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝۳۰

So how did My punishment turn out, and My warnings?

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلْمُحْتَظِرِ ۝۳١

Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay.

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ ۝۳٢

And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember?

كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍۭ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝۳۳

The people of Lut denied the Noble Messengers.

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍۢ ۖ نَّجَّيْنَٰهُم بِسَحَرٍۢ ۝۳٤

Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn.

نِّعْمَةًۭ مِّنْ عِندِنَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَن شَكَرَ ۝۳٥

As a reward from Us; this is how We reward one who gives thanks.

وَلَقَدْ أَنذَرَهُم بَطْشَتَنَا فَتَمَارَوْا۟ بِٱلنُّذُرِ ۝۳٦

And indeed he had warned them of Our seizure – in response they doubted the warnings.

وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيْفِهِۦ فَطَمَسْنَآ أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝۳۷

And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.”

وَلَقَدْ صَبَّحَهُم بُكْرَةً عَذَابٌۭ مُّسْتَقِرٌّۭ ۝۳۸

And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning.

فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ۝۳۹

“So taste My punishment, and My warnings!”

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ ۝٤۰

And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember?

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱلنُّذُرُ ۝٤١

And indeed the Noble Messengers came to the people of Firaun.

كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كُلِّهَا فَأَخَذْنَٰهُمْ أَخْذَ عَزِيزٍۢ مُّقْتَدِرٍ ۝٤٢

They denied all Our signs, We therefore seized them – the seizure of the Most Honourable, the All Powerful.

أَكُفَّارُكُمْ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكُمْ أَمْ لَكُم بَرَآءَةٌۭ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ ۝٤۳

Are your disbelievers better than they were, or have you been given exemption in the Books?

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعٌۭ مُّنتَصِرٌۭ ۝٤٤

Or they say, “We shall all take revenge as a group.”

سَيُهْزَمُ ٱلْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ ٱلدُّبُرَ ۝٤٥

The group will soon be routed, and will turn their backs to flee.

بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ ۝٤٦

In fact their promise is upon the Last Day – and the Last Day is very severe and very bitter!

إِنَّ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ وَسُعُرٍۢ ۝٤۷

Indeed the criminals are astray and insane.

يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ فِى ٱلنَّارِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ ذُوقُوا۟ مَسَّ سَقَرَ ۝٤۸

On the day when they are dragged upon their faces in the fire – “Taste the heat of hell.”

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَٰهُ بِقَدَرٍۢ ۝٤۹

We have indeed created all things by a proper measure.

وَمَآ أَمْرُنَآ إِلَّا وَٰحِدَةٌۭ كَلَمْحٍۭ بِٱلْبَصَرِ ۝٥۰

And Our command is only a fleeting one – like the batting of an eyelid.

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَآ أَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ ۝٥١

And We have indeed destroyed your kind, so is there one who would ponder?

وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍۢ فَعَلُوهُ فِى ٱلزُّبُرِ ۝٥٢

And all what they did is in the Books.

وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍۢ وَكَبِيرٍۢ مُّسْتَطَرٌ ۝٥۳

And every small and great thing is recorded.

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَنَهَرٍۢ ۝٥٤

Indeed the pious are amidst Gardens and springs.

فِى مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍۢ مُّقْتَدِرٍۭ ۝٥٥

Seated in an assembly of the Truth, in the presence of Allah, the Omnipotent King.
