مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ۝١

I do not (need to) swear by this town (Mecca)

وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ۝٢

in which you are now living

وَوَالِدٍۢ وَمَا وَلَدَ ۝۳

or by the great father and his wonderful son (Abraham and Ishmael)

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ ۝٤

that We have created the human being to face a great deal of hardship.

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٥

Does He think that no one will ever have control over him?

يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًۭا لُّبَدًا ۝٦

(He boasts and shows off) saying, "I have spent a great deal of money (for the cause of God)".

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ ۝۷

Does he think that no one has seen him?

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْنِ ۝۸

Have We not given him two eyes,

وَلِسَانًۭا وَشَفَتَيْنِ ۝۹

a tongue, and two lips?

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجْدَيْنِ ۝١۰

Have We not shown him the ways of good and evil?

فَلَا ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلْعَقَبَةَ ۝١١

Yet, he has not entered into Aqaba

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْعَقَبَةُ ۝١٢

Would that you knew what Aqaba is!

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ۝١۳

It is the setting free of a slave

أَوْ إِطْعَٰمٌۭ فِى يَوْمٍۢ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍۢ ۝١٤

or, in a day of famine, the feeding of

يَتِيمًۭا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ۝١٥

an orphaned relative

أَوْ مِسْكِينًۭا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍۢ ۝١٦

and downtrodden destitute person, (so that he would be of)

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ ۝١۷

the believers who cooperate with others in patience (steadfastness) and kindness.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ ۝١۸

These are the people of the right hand.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ ۝١۹

As for those who disbelieve in Our revelations, they are the people of the left

عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌۭ مُّؤْصَدَةٌۢ ۝٢۰

who will be engulfed in the fire.
