مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ ۝١

HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event?'

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ ۝٢

Some faces will on that Day be downcast,

عَامِلَةٌۭ نَّاصِبَةٌۭ ۝۳

toiling [under burdens of sin], worn out [by fear],

تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةًۭ ۝٤

about to enter a glowing fire,

تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍۢ ۝٥

given to drink from a boiling spring.

لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍۢ ۝٦

No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns,

لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍۢ ۝۷

which gives no strength and neither stills hunger.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ نَّاعِمَةٌۭ ۝۸

[And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss,

لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌۭ ۝۹

well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving,

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ ۝١۰

in a garden sublime,

لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَٰغِيَةًۭ ۝١١

wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk.

فِيهَا عَيْنٌۭ جَارِيَةٌۭ ۝١٢

Countless springs will flow therein,

فِيهَا سُرُرٌۭ مَّرْفُوعَةٌۭ ۝١۳

[and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high,

وَأَكْوَابٌۭ مَّوْضُوعَةٌۭ ۝١٤

and goblets placed ready,

وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌۭ ۝١٥

and cushions ranged,

وَزَرَابِىُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ ۝١٦

and carpets spread out…

أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ۝١۷

DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created?

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ ۝١۸

And at the sky, how it is raised aloft?

وَإِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ۝١۹

And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared?

وَإِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ ۝٢۰

And at the earth, how it is spread out?

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌۭ ۝٢١

And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort:

لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ ۝٢٢

thou canst not compel them [to believe].

إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ ۝٢۳

However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth,

فَيُعَذِّبُهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ ۝٢٤

him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]:

إِنَّ إِلَيْنَآ إِيَابَهُمْ ۝٢٥

for behold, unto Us will be their return,

ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم ۝٢٦

and verily, It is for Us to call them to account.
