مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌۭ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ ۝١

WOE UNTO THOSE who give short measure:

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ ۝٢

those who, when they are to receive their due from [other] people, demand that it be given in full –

وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ ۝۳

but when they have to measure or weigh whatever they owe to others, give less than what is due!

أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ ۝٤

Do they not know that they are bound to be raised from the dead

لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍۢ ۝٥

[and called to account] on an awesome Day –

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٦

the Day when all men shall stand before the Sustainer of all the worlds?

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍۢ ۝۷

NAY, VERILY, the record of the wicked is indeed [set down] in a mode inescapable!

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌۭ ۝۸

And what could make thee conceive what that that mode inescapable will be?

كِتَٰبٌۭ مَّرْقُومٌۭ ۝۹

A record [indelibly] inscribed!

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ۝١۰

Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth –

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ۝١١

those who give the lie to the [coming of] Judgment Day:

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ ۝١٢

for, none gives the lie to it but such as are wont to transgress against all that is [and are] immersed in sin:

إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۝١۳

[and so,] whenever Our messages are conveyed to them, they but say, "Fables of ancient times!"

كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ ۝١٤

Nay, but their hearts are corroded by all [the evil] that they were wont to do!

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ ۝١٥

Nay, verily, from [the grace of] their Sustainer shall they on that Day be debarred;

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ۝١٦

and then, behold, they shall enter the blazing fire

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝١۷

and be told: "This is the [very thing] to which you were wont to give the lie!"

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ ۝١۸

NAY, VERILY - the record of the truly virtuous is [set down] in a mode most lofty!

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ ۝١۹

And what could make thee conceive what that mode most lofty will be?

كِتَٰبٌۭ مَّرْقُومٌۭ ۝٢۰

A record [indelibly] inscribed,

يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ۝٢١

witnessed~ by all who have [ever] been drawn close unto God.

إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ ۝٢٢

Behold, [in the life to come] the truly virtuous will indeed be in bliss:

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ۝٢۳

[resting on couches, they will look up [to God]:

تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ ۝٢٤

upon their faces thou wilt see the brightness of bliss.

يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍۢ مَّخْتُومٍ ۝٢٥

They will be given a drink of pure wine whereon the seal [of God] will have been set,

خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌۭ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ ۝٢٦

pouring forth with a fragrance of musk. To that [wine of paradise], then, let all such aspire as [are willing to] aspire to things of high account:

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ ۝٢۷

for it is composed of all that is most exalting

عَيْنًۭا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ ۝٢۸

a source [of bliss] whereof those who are drawn close unto God shall drink.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ ۝٢۹

BEHOLD, those who have abandoned themselves to sin are wont to laugh at such as have attained to faith

وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ ۝۳۰

and whenever they pass by them, they wink at one another [derisively];

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ ۝۳١

and whenever they return to people of their own kind, they return full of jests;

وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ ۝۳٢

and whenever they see those [who believe,] they say, "Behold, these [people] have indeed gone astray!"

وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ ۝۳۳

And, withal, they have no call to watch over [the beliefs of] others...

فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ ۝۳٤

But on the Day [of Judgment], they who had attained to faith will [be able to] laugh at the [erstwhile] deniers of the truth:

عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ ۝۳٥

[for, resting in paradise] on couches, they will look on [and say to themselves]:

هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ ۝۳٦

"Are these deniers of the truth being [thus] requited for [aught but] what they were wont to do?"
