مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌۢ بِعَذَابٍۢ وَاقِعٍۢ ۝١

A requester seeks the punishment that will take place –

لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُۥ دَافِعٌۭ ۝٢

- Upon the disbelievers – the punishment that none can avert.

مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِى ٱلْمَعَارِجِ ۝۳

From Allah, the Lord of all pinnacles.

تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍۢ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍۢ ۝٤

The angels and Jibreel, ascend towards Him – the punishment will befall on a day which spans fifty thousand years.

فَٱصْبِرْ صَبْرًۭا جَمِيلًا ۝٥

Therefore patiently endure, in the best manner (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him).

إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُۥ بَعِيدًۭا ۝٦

They deem it to be remote.

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبًۭا ۝۷

Whereas We see it impending.

يَوْمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلْمُهْلِ ۝۸

The day when the sky will be like molten silver.

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ۝۹

And the hills will be light as wool.

وَلَا يَسْـَٔلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًۭا ۝١۰

And no friend will ask concerning his friend.

يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ۚ يَوَدُّ ٱلْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِى مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍۭ بِبَنِيهِ ۝١١

They will be seeing them; the guilty will wish if only he could redeem himself from the punishment of that day, by offering his sons.

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَأَخِيهِ ۝١٢

And his wife and his brother.

وَفَصِيلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِى تُـْٔوِيهِ ۝١۳

And the family in which he was.

وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ ۝١٤

And all those who are in the earth – then only if the redemption saves him!

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ ۝١٥

Never! That is indeed a blazing fire.

نَزَّاعَةًۭ لِّلشَّوَىٰ ۝١٦

A fire that melts the hide.

تَدْعُوا۟ مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ۝١۷

It calls out to him who reverted and turned away.

وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰٓ ۝١۸

And accumulated wealth and hoarded it.

۞ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا ۝١۹

Indeed man is created very impatient, greedy.

إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًۭا ۝٢۰

Very nervous when touched by misfortune.

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا ۝٢١

And refraining, when good reaches him.

إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ ۝٢٢

Except those who establish prayer.

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ ۝٢۳

Those who are regular in their prayers.

وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ۝٢٤

And those in whose wealth exists a recognised right,

لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ ۝٢٥

For those who beg, and for the needy who cannot even ask.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٢٦

And those who believe the Day of Judgement to be true.

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ ۝٢۷

And those who fear the punishment of their Lord.

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍۢ ۝٢۸

Indeed the punishment of their Lord is not a thing to be unafraid of!

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَٰفِظُونَ ۝٢۹

And those who protect their private organs (from adultery).

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ ۝۳۰

Except with their wives and the bondwomen in their possession, for there is no reproach on them.

فَمَنِ ٱبْتَغَىٰ وَرَآءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْعَادُونَ ۝۳١

So those who desire more than this – it is they who are the transgressors.

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَٰنَٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ ۝۳٢

And those who protect the property entrusted to them, and their agreements.

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَٰدَٰتِهِمْ قَآئِمُونَ ۝۳۳

And those who are firm upon their testimonies.

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ ۝۳٤

And those who protect their prayers.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ مُّكْرَمُونَ ۝۳٥

It is these who will be honoured in Gardens.

فَمَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ ۝۳٦

So what is the matter with these disbelievers, that they stare at you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him)?

عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ ٱلشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ ۝۳۷

From the right and the left, in groups?

أَيَطْمَعُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُدْخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعِيمٍۢ ۝۳۸

Does every man among them aspire to be admitted into the Garden of serenity?

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ ۝۳۹

Never! We have indeed created them from a thing they know.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَٰدِرُونَ ۝٤۰

So I swear by the Lord of every East and every West, that We are indeed Able.

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ ۝٤١

To replace them by those better than them; and none can escape from Us.

فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ ۝٤٢

Therefore leave them, involved in their indecencies and play, till they confront their day which they are promised.

يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًۭا كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلَىٰ نُصُبٍۢ يُوفِضُونَ ۝٤۳

A day when they will come out of the graves in haste, as if rushing towards their goals.

خَٰشِعَةً أَبْصَٰرُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌۭ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ ۝٤٤

With lowered eyes, disgrace overcoming them; this is the day, which they had been promised.
