مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ۝١

I swear by the Day of Resurrection.

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ۝٢

And by oath of the soul that reproaches itself.

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ۝۳

Does man assume that We will never assemble his bones?

بَلَىٰ قَٰدِرِينَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُۥ ۝٤

Surely yes, why not? We can properly make all his phalanxes.

بَلْ يُرِيدُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُۥ ۝٥

In fact man wishes to commit evil in front of Him!

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ۝٦

He asks, “When will be the Day of Resurrection?”

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ ۝۷

So when the eyes will be blinded by light.

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ ۝۸

And the moon will be eclipsed.

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ ۝۹

And the sun and the moon will be united.

يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ ۝١۰

On that day man will cry out, “Where shall I flee?”

كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ ۝١١

Never! There is no refuge!

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمُسْتَقَرُّ ۝١٢

On that day, the station is only towards your Lord.

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ ۝١۳

On that day, man will be informed of all what he sent ahead and left behind.

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌۭ ۝١٤

In fact, man himself is keeping an eye on his state of affairs!

وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ ۝١٥

And even if he presents all the excuses he has, none will be listened to.

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ ۝١٦

O dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), do not cause your tongue to move along with the Qur’an in order to learn it faster.

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ ۝١۷

Indeed assembling the Qur’an and reading it are upon Us.

فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ ۝١۸

So when We have read it, you should thereupon follow what is read.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ ۝١۹

Then indeed, to explain its details to you is upon Us.

كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ ۝٢۰

None except you, O disbelievers – you love what you have, the fleeting one.

وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ ۝٢١

And you have forsaken the Hereafter.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاضِرَةٌ ۝٢٢

On that day, some faces will shine with freshness.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌۭ ۝٢۳

Looking toward their Lord.

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌۭ ۝٢٤

And on that day some faces will be ghastly.

تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌۭ ۝٢٥

Knowing that they will be subjected to a torment that breaks the backs.

كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ ۝٢٦

Yes indeed, when the soul will reach up to the throat.

وَقِيلَ مَنْ ۜ رَاقٍۢ ۝٢۷

And they will say, “Is there any one – any magician?”

وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ ۝٢۸

And he will realise that this is the parting.

وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ ۝٢۹

And one shin will curl up with the other shin.

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ ۝۳۰

On that day, the herding will be only towards your Lord.

فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ ۝۳١

Neither did he believe it to be true, nor did he offer the prayer.

وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ۝۳٢

But he denied and turned away.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ ۝۳۳

Then he went back to his home in pride.

أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ ۝۳٤

Your ruin has come close, still closer.

ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ ۝۳٥

Again your ruin has come close, still closer.

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى ۝۳٦

Does man assume that he will be let loose?

أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةًۭ مِّن مَّنِىٍّۢ يُمْنَىٰ ۝۳۷

Was he not just a drop of the semen that is discharged?

ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةًۭ فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ۝۳۸

He then became a clot – so Allah created him, then made him proper.

فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ ۝۳۹

So created from him a pair, the male and female.

أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۝٤۰

So will He, Who has done all this, not be able to revive the dead?
