مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْفَجْرِ ۝١

By the Daybreak

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ ۝٢

by the Ten Nights

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ ۝۳

by the even and the odd

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ۝٤

by the passing night–&ndash

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ ۝٥

is this oath strong enough for a rational person

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ۝٦

Have you [Prophet] considered how your Lord dealt with [the people] of 'Ad

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ ۝۷

of Iram, [the city] of lofty pillars

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ۝۸

whose like has never been made in any land

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ ۝۹

and the Thamud, who hewed into the rocks in the valley

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ ۝١۰

and the mighty and powerful Pharaoh

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ۝١١

All of them committed excesses in their lands

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ ۝١٢

and spread corruption there

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ۝١۳

your Lord let a scourge of punishment loose on them

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ ۝١٤

Your Lord is always watchful

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

[The nature of] man is that, when his Lord tries him through honour and blessings, he says, ‘My Lord has honoured me,’

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

but when He tries him through the restriction of his provision, he says, ‘My Lord has humiliated me.’

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ ۝١۷

No indeed! You [people] do not honour orphans

وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ۝١۸

you do not urge one another to feed the poor

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا ۝١۹

you consume inheritance greedily

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا ۝٢۰

and you love wealth with a passion

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا ۝٢١

No indeed! When the earth is pounded to dust, pounded and pounded

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا ۝٢٢

when your Lord comes with the angels, rank upon rank

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ۝٢۳

when Hell is that Day brought near- on that Day man will take heed, but what good will that be to him then

يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى ۝٢٤

He will say, ‘Would that I had provided for this life to come!’

فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٢٥

On that Day, no one will punish as He punishes

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٢٦

and no one will bind as He binds

يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ۝٢۷

‘[But] you, soul at peace

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ ۝٢۸

return to your Lord well pleased and well pleasing

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى ۝٢۹

go in among My servants

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى ۝۳۰

and into My Garden.’
