مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا ۝١

By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا ۝٢

By the Moon as she follows him;

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا ۝۳

By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا ۝٤

By the Night as it conceals it;

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا ۝٥

By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;

وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا ۝٦

By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:

وَنَفْسٍۢ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا ۝۷

By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا ۝۸

And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا ۝۹

Truly he succeeds that purifies it,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا ۝١۰

And he fails that corrupts it!

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ ۝١١

The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing,

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا ۝١٢

Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا ۝١۳

But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا ۝١٤

Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا ۝١٥

And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
