مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْفَجْرِ ۝١

By oath of the (particular) dawn.

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ ۝٢

And by oath of ten nights.

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ ۝۳

And by oath of the even and the odd.

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ۝٤

And by oath of the night when it recedes

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ ۝٥

Why is there an oath in this, for the intelligent?

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ۝٦

Did you not see how did your Lord deal with (the tribe of) Aad?

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ ۝۷

(And) the tall giants of Iram?

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ۝۸

Like whom no one else was born in the cities.

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ ۝۹

And the tribe of Thamud, who hewed rocks in the valley.

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ ۝١۰

And with Firaun, who used to crucify.

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ۝١١

Those who rebelled in the cities,

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ ۝١٢

And who then spread a lot of turmoil in them.

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ۝١۳

Therefore your Lord struck them hard with the means of punishment.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ ۝١٤

Indeed nothing is hidden from the sight of your Lord.

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

So man, whenever his Lord tests him by giving him honour and favours – thereupon he says, “My Lord has honoured me.”

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

And if He tests him and restricts his livelihood – thereupon he says, “My Lord has degraded me!”

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ ۝١۷

Not at all – but rather you do not honour the orphan.

وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ۝١۸

And do not urge one another to feed the needy.

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا ۝١۹

And you readily devour the inheritance with greed.

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا ۝٢۰

And you harbour intense love for wealth.

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا ۝٢١

Most certainly – when the earth is smashed and blown to bits.

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا ۝٢٢

And when the command of your Lord comes – and the angels row by row,

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ۝٢۳

And when hell is brought that day – on that day will man reflect, but where is the time now to think?

يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى ۝٢٤

He will say, “Alas – if only I had sent some good deeds ahead, during my lifetime!”

فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٢٥

So on that day, no one punishes like He does!

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٢٦

And no one binds like He does!

يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ۝٢۷

O the contented soul!

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ ۝٢۸

Return towards your Lord – you being pleased with Him, and He pleased with you!

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى ۝٢۹

Then enter the ranks of My chosen bondmen!

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى ۝۳۰

And come into My Paradise!
