مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلذَّٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرْوًۭا ۝١

By those [winds] that scatter far and wide

فَٱلْحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقْرًۭا ۝٢

and those that are heavily laden

فَٱلْجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسْرًۭا ۝۳

that speed freely

فَٱلْمُقَسِّمَٰتِ أَمْرًا ۝٤

that distribute [rain] as ordained

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌۭ ۝٥

What you [people] are promised is true

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ ۝٦

the Judgement will come–&ndash

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ ۝۷

by the sky with its pathways

إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍۢ مُّخْتَلِفٍۢ ۝۸

you differ in what you say–&ndash

يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ ۝۹

those who turn away from it are [truly] deceived

قُتِلَ ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ ۝١۰

Perish the liars

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍۢ سَاهُونَ ۝١١

those steeped in error and unaware

يَسْـَٔلُونَ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ ۝١٢

They ask, ‘When is this Judgement Day coming?’

يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ ۝١۳

On a Day when they will be punished by the Fire

ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ۝١٤

‘Taste the punishment! This is what you wished to hasten.’

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍ ۝١٥

The righteous will be in Gardens with [flowing] springs

ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ ۝١٦

They will receive their Lord’s gifts because of the good they did before

كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًۭا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ ۝١۷

sleeping only little at night

وَبِٱلْأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ۝١۸

praying at dawn for God’s forgiveness

وَفِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ ۝١۹

giving a rightful share of their wealth to the beggar and the deprived

وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ءَايَٰتٌۭ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ ۝٢۰

On earth there are signs for those with sure faith–&ndash

وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝٢١

and in yourselves too, do you not see?–&ndash

وَفِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ ۝٢٢

in the sky is your sustenance and all that you are promised

فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّۭ مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ ۝٢۳

By the Lord of the heavens and earth! All this is as real as your speaking

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْمُكْرَمِينَ ۝٢٤

[Muhammad], have you heard the story of the honoured guests of Abraham

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًۭا ۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٌۭ قَوْمٌۭ مُّنكَرُونَ ۝٢٥

They went in to see him and said, ‘Peace.’ ‘Peace,’ he said, [adding to himself] ‘These people are strangers.’

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجْلٍۢ سَمِينٍۢ ۝٢٦

He turned quickly to his household, brought out a fat calf

فَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ ۝٢۷

and placed it before them. ‘Will you not eat?’ he said

فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةًۭ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٍۢ ۝٢۸

beginning to be afraid of them, but they said, ‘Do not be afraid.’ They gave him good news of a son who would be gifted with knowledge

فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍۢ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌۭ ۝٢۹

His wife then entered with a loud cry, struck her face, and said, ‘A barren old woman?’

قَالُوا۟ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ۝۳۰

but they said, ‘It will be so. This is what your Lord said, and He is the Wise, the All Knowing.’

۞ قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ۝۳١

Abraham said, ‘What is your errand, messengers?’

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ مُّجْرِمِينَ ۝۳٢

They said, ‘We are sent to a people lost in sin

لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن طِينٍۢ ۝۳۳

to bring down rocks of clay

مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ ۝۳٤

marked by your Lord for those who exceed all bounds.’

فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝۳٥

We brought out such believers as were there

فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ ۝۳٦

We found only one household devoted to God

وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ ۝۳۷

and left the town to be a sign for those who fear the painful punishment

وَفِى مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ۝۳۸

There is another sign in Moses: We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority

فَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكْنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌۭ ۝۳۹

Pharaoh turned away with his supporters, saying, ‘This is a sorcerer, or maybe a madman,’

فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذْنَٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌۭ ۝٤۰

so We seized him and his forces and threw them into the sea: he was to blame

وَفِى عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلْعَقِيمَ ۝٤١

There is another sign in the Ad: We sent the life-destroying wind against the

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ ۝٤٢

and it reduced everything it came up against to shreds

وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ۝٤۳

And also in the Thamud: it was said to them, ‘Make the most of your lives for a while,’

فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ ۝٤٤

but they rebelled against their Lord’s command, so the blast took them. They looked on helplessly

فَمَا ٱسْتَطَٰعُوا۟ مِن قِيَامٍۢ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنتَصِرِينَ ۝٤٥

they could not even remain standing, let alone defend themselves

وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۭا فَٰسِقِينَ ۝٤٦

Before that We destroyed the people of Noah. They were a truly sinful people

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍۢ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ ۝٤۷

We built the heavens with Our power and made them vast

وَٱلْأَرْضَ فَرَشْنَٰهَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَٰهِدُونَ ۝٤۸

We spread out the earth- how well We smoothed it out!

وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤۹

and We created pairs of all things so that you [people] might take note

فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝٥۰

[So, say to them, Prophet], ‘Quickly, turn to God- I am sent by Him to give you clear warning

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ۝٥١

and do not set up any other god alongside Him. I am sent by Him to give you clear warning!’

كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ ۝٥٢

Every previous people to whom a messenger was sent also said, ‘A sor-cerer, or maybe a madman!’

أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌۭ طَاغُونَ ۝٥۳

Did they tell one another to do this? No! They are a people who exceed all bounds

فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍۢ ۝٥٤

so ignore them [Prophet]- you are not to blame

وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۝٥٥

and go on reminding [people], it is good for those who believe to be reminded

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ ۝٥٦

I created jinn and mankind only to worship Me

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍۢ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ ۝٥۷

I want no provision from them, nor do I want them to feed Me

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ ۝٥۸

God is the Provider, the Lord of Power, the Ever Mighty

فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًۭا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ ۝٥۹

The evildoers, like their predecessors, will have a share of punishment- they need not ask Me to hasten it

فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ ۝٦۰

and woe betide those who deny the truth on the Day they have been promised
