مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًۭا ۝١

By those (angels) that pluck out the soul from depths,

وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًۭا ۝٢

and gently take it away;

وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًۭا ۝۳

and by those that speedily glide along (the cosmos),

فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًۭا ۝٤

and vie with the others (in carrying out their Lord's behests);

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا ۝٥

and then manage the affairs of the Universe (according to their Lord's commands).

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ۝٦

The Day when the quaking will cause a violent convulsion,

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ۝۷

and will be followed by another quaking.

قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ ۝۸

On that Day some hearts shall tremble (with fright),

أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌۭ ۝۹

and their eyes shall be downcast with dread.

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ۝١۰

They say: “Shall we indeed be restored to life,

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ ۝١١

even after we have been reduced to bones, hollow and rotten?”

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ ۝١٢

They say: “That will then be a return with a great loss!”

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ۝١۳

Surely they will need no more than a single stern blast,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ۝١٤

and lo, they will all be in the open plain.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ۝١٥

Has Moses' story reached you?

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ۝١٦

When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ۝١۷

and directed him: “Go to Pharaoh, he has rebelled,

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ۝١۸

and say to him: 'Are you willing to be purified,

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ۝١۹

that I may direct you to your Lord and then you hold Him in awe?'”

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ۝٢۰

Then Moses (went to Pharaoh and) showed him the Great Sign;

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ۝٢١

but he denied it as false and disobeyed,

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ۝٢٢

and then he turned back to have recourse to his craftiness,

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ۝٢۳

and gathered his people and declared:

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ۝٢٤

“I am the supreme lord of you all.”

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ۝٢٥

Thereupon Allah seized him for the chastisement of the World to Come as well as of the present.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ۝٢٦

Surely there is a great lesson in it for whoever would fear (Allah).

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ۝٢۷

Is it harder to create you or the heaven? But Allah built it,

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ۝٢۸

and raised its vault high and proportioned it;

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ۝٢۹

and covered its night with darkness and brought forth from it its day;

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ۝۳۰

and thereafter spread out the earth,

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا ۝۳١

and brought out of it its water and its pasture,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا ۝۳٢

and firmly fixed in it mountains;

مَتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ۝۳۳

all this as provision for you and your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ۝۳٤

But when the great calamity will come about

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ۝۳٥

on the Day when man will recall all his strivings,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ۝۳٦

and Hell will be brought in sight for anyone to see:

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ۝۳۷

then he who transgressed

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۝۳۸

and preferred the life of this world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ۝۳۹

most surely his abode shall be Hell.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ۝٤۰

But he who feared to stand before his Lord, and restrained himself from evil desires,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ۝٤١

most surely his abode shall be Paradise.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ۝٤٢

They ask you about the Hour: “When will it be?”

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ۝٤۳

What concern do you have to speak about that?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ۝٤٤

Its knowledge rests with your Lord.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ۝٤٥

You are only a warner to him who has a fear of it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ۝٤٦

On the Day they see it, they will feel as though they had stayed (in the grave) no more than one evening or one morning.
