مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًۭا ۝١

By the forceful charger

وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًۭا ۝٢

raring to go

وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًۭا ۝۳

sweeping ahead at full stretch

فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًۭا ۝٤

overtaking swiftl

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا ۝٥

to bring the matter to an end

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ۝٦

on the Day when the blast reverberate

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ۝۷

and the second blast follows

قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ ۝۸

hearts will trembl

أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌۭ ۝۹

and eyes will be downcast

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ۝١۰

They say, ‘What? shall we be brought back to life

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ ۝١١

after we have turned into decayed bones?’ and they say

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ ۝١٢

‘Such a return is impossible!’

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ۝١۳

But all it will take is a single blast

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ۝١٤

and they will be back above ground

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ۝١٥

Have you [Prophet] heard the story of Moses

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ۝١٦

His Lord called out to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ۝١۷

‘Go to Pharaoh, for he has exceeded all bounds

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ۝١۸

and ask him, “Do you want to purify yourself [of sin]

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ۝١۹

Do you want me to guide you to your Lord, so that you may hold Him in awe?” ’

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ۝٢۰

Moses showed him the great sign

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ۝٢١

but he denied it and refused [the faith]

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ۝٢٢

He turned away and hastil

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ۝٢۳

gathered his people, proclaiming

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ۝٢٤

‘I am your supreme lord,’

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ۝٢٥

so God condemned him to punishment in the life to come as well as in this life

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ۝٢٦

there truly is a lesson in this for anyone who stands in awe of God

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ۝٢۷

Which is harder to create: you people or the sky that He built

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ۝٢۸

raising it high and perfecting it

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ۝٢۹

giving darkness to its night and bringing out its morning brightness

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ۝۳۰

and the earth, too, He spread out

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا ۝۳١

bringing waters and pastures out of it

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا ۝۳٢

and setting firm mountains [in it]

مَتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ۝۳۳

for you and your animals to enjoy

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ۝۳٤

When the great overwhelming event arrive

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ۝۳٥

on the Day that man remembers what he has don

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ۝۳٦

and Hell is there for all to see

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ۝۳۷

for anyone who has transgresse

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۝۳۸

and preferred the present lif

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ۝۳۹

Hell will be home

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ۝٤۰

for anyone who feared the meeting with his Lord and restrained himself from base desires

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ۝٤١

Paradise will be home

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ۝٤٢

They ask you [Prophet] about the Hour

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ۝٤۳

saying, ‘When will it arrive?’, but how can you tell [them that]

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ۝٤٤

Its time is known only to your Lord

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ۝٤٥

you are only sent to warn those who fear it

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ۝٤٦

On the Day they see it, it will seem they lingered [in this life] an evening [at most,] or its morning
