مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ۝١

I do call to witness this City;-

وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ۝٢

And thou art a freeman of this City;-

وَوَالِدٍۢ وَمَا وَلَدَ ۝۳

And (the mystic ties of) parent and child;-

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ فِى كَبَدٍ ۝٤

Verily We have created man into toil and struggle.

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّن يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٥

Thinketh he, that none hath power over him?

يَقُولُ أَهْلَكْتُ مَالًۭا لُّبَدًا ۝٦

He may say (boastfully); Wealth have I squandered in abundance!

أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ ۝۷

Thinketh he that none beholdeth him?

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عَيْنَيْنِ ۝۸

Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?-

وَلِسَانًۭا وَشَفَتَيْنِ ۝۹

And a tongue, and a pair of lips?-

وَهَدَيْنَٰهُ ٱلنَّجْدَيْنِ ۝١۰

And shown him the two highways?

فَلَا ٱقْتَحَمَ ٱلْعَقَبَةَ ۝١١

But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْعَقَبَةُ ۝١٢

And what will explain to thee the path that is steep?-

فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ۝١۳

(It is:) freeing the bondman;

أَوْ إِطْعَٰمٌۭ فِى يَوْمٍۢ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍۢ ۝١٤

Or the giving of food in a day of privation

يَتِيمًۭا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ۝١٥

To the orphan with claims of relationship,

أَوْ مِسْكِينًۭا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍۢ ۝١٦

Or to the indigent (down) in the dust.

ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ ۝١۷

Then will he be of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin deeds of kindness and compassion.

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ ۝١۸

Such are the Companions of the Right Hand.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ ۝١۹

But those who reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) Companions of the Left Hand.

عَلَيْهِمْ نَارٌۭ مُّؤْصَدَةٌۢ ۝٢۰

On them will be Fire vaulted over (all round).
