مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ۝١

When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ ۝٢

When the stars fall, losing their lustre;

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ ۝۳

When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);

وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ۝٤

When the she-camels, ten months with young, are left untended;

وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ ۝٥

When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);

وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ ۝٦

When the oceans boil over with a swell;

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ ۝۷

When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);

وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ ۝۸

When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -

بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍۢ قُتِلَتْ ۝۹

For what crime she was killed;

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ ۝١۰

When the scrolls are laid open;

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ ۝١١

When the world on High is unveiled;

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ ۝١٢

When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;

وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ ۝١۳

And when the Garden is brought near;-

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ ۝١٤

(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ ۝١٥

So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,

ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ ۝١٦

Go straight, or hide;

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ ۝١۷

And the Night as it dissipates;

وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ ۝١۸

And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness;-

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝١۹

Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,

ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍۢ ۝٢۰

Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,

مُّطَاعٍۢ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍۢ ۝٢١

With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍۢ ۝٢٢

And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;

وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ ۝٢۳

And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍۢ ۝٢٤

Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍۢ رَّجِيمٍۢ ۝٢٥

Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.

فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ ۝٢٦

When whither go ye?

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٢۷

Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ ۝٢۸

(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٢۹

But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds.
