مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ۝١

(The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away,

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ ۝٢

Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Umm-Maktum, who came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs).

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ۝۳

But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)?

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ۝٤

Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him?

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ۝٥

As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient,

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ۝٦

To him you attend;

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ۝۷

What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah).

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ۝۸

But as to him who came to you running.

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ۝۹

And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment),

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ۝١۰

Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another,

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ۝١١

Nay, (do not do like this), indeed it (these Verses of this Quran) are an admonition,

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ۝١٢

So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it.

فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ ۝١۳

(It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz).

مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ ۝١٤

Exalted (in dignity), purified,

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ ۝١٥

In the hands of scribes (angels).

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ ۝١٦

Honourable and obedient.

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ ۝١۷

Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is!

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ۝١۸

From what thing did He create him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ۝١۹

From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him, and then set him in due proportion;

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ۝٢۰

Then He makes the Path easy for him;

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ ۝٢١

Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave;

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ۝٢٢

Then, when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again).

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ۝٢۳

Nay, but (man) has not done what He commanded him.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ۝٢٤

Then let man look at his food,

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا ۝٢٥

That We pour forth water in abundance,

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا ۝٢٦

And We split the earth in clefts,

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا ۝٢۷

And We cause therein the grain to grow,

وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا ۝٢۸

And grapes and clover plants (i.e. green fodder for the cattle),

وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا ۝٢۹

And olives and date-palms,

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا ۝۳۰

And gardens, dense with many trees,

وَفَٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا ۝۳١

And fruits and Abba (herbage, etc.),

مَّتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ۝۳٢

(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ۝۳۳

Then, when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the Day of Resurrection's second blowing of Trumpet),

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ۝۳٤

That Day shall a man flee from his brother,

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ۝۳٥

And from his mother and his father,

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ۝۳٦

And from his wife and his children.

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ ۝۳۷

Everyman, that Day, will have enough to make him careless of others.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ ۝۳۸

Some faces that Day, will be bright (true believers of Islamic Monotheism).

ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ ۝۳۹

Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise).

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ ۝٤۰

And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained;

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ۝٤١

Darkness will cover them,

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ ۝٤٢

Such will be the Kafarah (disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him), etc.), the Fajarah (wicked evil doers).
