مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ۝١

The Prophet frowned and turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ ۝٢

Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ۝۳

But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ۝٤

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ۝٥

As for he who thinks himself without need,

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ۝٦

To him you give attention.

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ۝۷

And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ۝۸

But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ۝۹

While he fears [Allah],

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ۝١۰

From him you are distracted.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ۝١١

No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ۝١٢

So whoever wills may remember it.

فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ ۝١۳

[It is recorded] in honored sheets,

مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ ۝١٤

Exalted and purified,

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ ۝١٥

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ ۝١٦

Noble and dutiful.

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ ۝١۷

Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ۝١۸

From what substance did He create him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ۝١۹

From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ۝٢۰

Then He eased the way for him;

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ ۝٢١

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ۝٢٢

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ۝٢۳

No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ۝٢٤

Then let mankind look at his food -

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا ۝٢٥

How We poured down water in torrents,

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا ۝٢٦

Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا ۝٢۷

And caused to grow within it grain

وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا ۝٢۸

And grapes and herbage

وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا ۝٢۹

And olive and palm trees

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا ۝۳۰

And gardens of dense shrubbery

وَفَٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا ۝۳١

And fruit and grass -

مَّتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ۝۳٢

[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ۝۳۳

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ۝۳٤

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ۝۳٥

And his mother and his father

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ۝۳٦

And his wife and his children,

لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ ۝۳۷

For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.

وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ ۝۳۸

[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -

ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ ۝۳۹

Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ ۝٤۰

And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ۝٤١

Blackness will cover them.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ ۝٤٢

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
