مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ ۝١

By the sky and the night-comer–&ndash

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ ۝٢

What will explain to you what the night-comer is

ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ ۝۳

The piercing star–&ndash

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ ۝٤

there is a watcher over every soul

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ۝٥

Man should reflect on what he was created from

خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ ۝٦

He is created from spurting fluid

يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ ۝۷

then he emerges from between the backbone and breastbone

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ ۝۸

God is certainly able to bring him back to life

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ ۝۹

On the Day when secrets are laid bar

فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ ۝١۰

he will have no power and no one to help him

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ ۝١١

By the sky and its recurring rain

وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ ۝١٢

by the earth that cracks open

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ ۝١۳

This is truly a decisive statement

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ ۝١٤

it is not something to be taken lightly

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا ۝١٥

They plot and scheme

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا ۝١٦

but so do I

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا ۝١۷

[Prophet], let the disbelievers be, let them be for a while
