مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلطُّورِ ۝١

By the mountain

وَكِتَٰبٍۢ مَّسْطُورٍۢ ۝٢

by a Scripture inscribe

فِى رَقٍّۢ مَّنشُورٍۢ ۝۳

in unrolled parch-ment

وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ ۝٤

by the much-visited House

وَٱلسَّقْفِ ٱلْمَرْفُوعِ ۝٥

by the raised canopy

وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ ۝٦

by the ocean ever filled

إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ ۝۷

[Prophet], your Lord’s punishment is coming–&ndash

مَّا لَهُۥ مِن دَافِعٍۢ ۝۸

it cannot be put off–&ndash

يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًۭا ۝۹

on the Day when the sky sways back and fort

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَيْرًۭا ۝١۰

and the mountains float away

فَوَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ۝١١

Woe on that Day to those who deny the Truth

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍۢ يَلْعَبُونَ ۝١٢

who amuse themselves with idle chatter

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَىٰ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا ۝١۳

on that Day they will be thrust into the Fire of Hell

هَٰذِهِ ٱلنَّارُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝١٤

‘This is the Fire you used to deny

أَفَسِحْرٌ هَٰذَآ أَمْ أَنتُمْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝١٥

So is this sorcery? Do you still not see it

ٱصْلَوْهَا فَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ أَوْ لَا تَصْبِرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝١٦

Burn in it––it makes no difference whether you bear it patiently or not–– you are only being repaid for what you have done.’

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَنَعِيمٍۢ ۝١۷

Those who were mindful of God are in Gardens and in bliss

فَٰكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝١۸

rejoicing in their Lord’s gifts: He has saved them from the torment of the Blaze

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ۝١۹

‘Eat and drink with healthy enjoyment as a reward for what you have done.’

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مَّصْفُوفَةٍۢ ۖ وَزَوَّجْنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ ۝٢۰

They are comfortably seated on couches arranged in rows; We pair them with beautiful-eyed maidens

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَٰنٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَآ أَلَتْنَٰهُم مِّنْ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍۢ ۚ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌۭ ۝٢١

We unite the believers with their offspring who followed them in faith–– We do not deny them any of the rewards for their deeds: each person is in pledge for his own deeds–&ndash

وَأَمْدَدْنَٰهُم بِفَٰكِهَةٍۢ وَلَحْمٍۢ مِّمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ ۝٢٢

We provide them with any fruit or meat they desire

يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ فِيهَا كَأْسًۭا لَّا لَغْوٌۭ فِيهَا وَلَا تَأْثِيمٌۭ ۝٢۳

They pass around a cup which does not lead to any idle talk or sin

۞ وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌۭ لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌۭ مَّكْنُونٌۭ ۝٢٤

Devoted youths like hidden pearls wait on them

وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ۝٢٥

They turn to one another and say

قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَبْلُ فِىٓ أَهْلِنَا مُشْفِقِينَ ۝٢٦

‘When we were still with our families [on earth] we used to live in fear–&ndash

فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَىٰنَا عَذَابَ ٱلسَّمُومِ ۝٢۷

God has been gracious to us and saved us from the torment of intense heat

إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلُ نَدْعُوهُ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْبَرُّ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ۝٢۸

We used to pray to Him: He is the Good, the Merciful One.’

فَذَكِّرْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَتِ رَبِّكَ بِكَاهِنٍۢ وَلَا مَجْنُونٍ ۝٢۹

So [Prophet] remind [people]. By the grace of your Lord [Prophet], you are neither oracle nor madman

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌۭ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِۦ رَيْبَ ٱلْمَنُونِ ۝۳۰

If they say, ‘He is only a poet: we shall await his fate,’

قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا۟ فَإِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ ۝۳١

say, ‘Wait if you wish; I too am waiting’

أَمْ تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَٰمُهُم بِهَٰذَآ ۚ أَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌۭ طَاغُونَ ۝۳٢

does their reason really tell them to do this, or are they simply insolent people

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُۥ ۚ بَل لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ ۝۳۳

If they say, ‘He has made it up himself’- they certainly do not believe

فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِحَدِيثٍۢ مِّثْلِهِۦٓ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَٰدِقِينَ ۝۳٤

let them produce one like it, if what they say is true

أَمْ خُلِقُوا۟ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ ۝۳٥

Were they created without any agent? Were they the creators

أَمْ خَلَقُوا۟ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ ۝۳٦

Did they create the heavens and the earth? No! They do not have faith

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُصَۣيْطِرُونَ ۝۳۷

Do they possess your Lord’s treasures or have control over them

أَمْ لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌۭ يَسْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ ۖ فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍ ۝۳۸

Do they have a ladder to climb, in order to eavesdrop [on Heaven’s secrets]? Let their eavesdropper produce clear proof

أَمْ لَهُ ٱلْبَنَٰتُ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ ۝۳۹

Does God have daughters while you have sons

أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًۭا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍۢ مُّثْقَلُونَ ۝٤۰

Do you [Prophet] demand a payment from them that would burden them with debt

أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ ۝٤١

Do they have [access to] the unseen? Could they write it down

أَمْ يُرِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا ۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْمَكِيدُونَ ۝٤٢

Do they think they can ensnare you? It is the disbelievers who have been ensnared

أَمْ لَهُمْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ۝٤۳

Do they really have another god besides God? God is far above anything they set alongside Him

وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كِسْفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ سَاقِطًۭا يَقُولُوا۟ سَحَابٌۭ مَّرْكُومٌۭ ۝٤٤

Even if they saw a piece of heaven falling down on them, they would say, ‘Just a heap of clouds,’

فَذَرْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ يُصْعَقُونَ ۝٤٥

so leave them, Prophet, until they face the Day when they will be thunderstruck

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ۝٤٦

the Day when their snares will be of no use to them, when they will get no help

وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ عَذَابًۭا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۝٤۷

Another punishment awaits the evildoers, though most of them do not realize it

وَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا ۖ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ۝٤۸

Wait patiently [Prophet] for your Lord’s judgement: you are under Our watchful eye. Celebrate the praise of your Lord when you rise

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَإِدْبَٰرَ ٱلنُّجُومِ ۝٤۹

Glorify Him at night and at the fading of the stars
