مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْفَجْرِ ۝١

By the dawn,

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍۢ ۝٢

and the ten nights,

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ ۝۳

and the even and the odd,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ۝٤

and by the night when it departs.

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ ۝٥

Is there in this an oath for one endowed with understanding?

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ۝٦

Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with Ad

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ ۝۷

of Iram, known for their lofty columns,

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ۝۸

the like of whom no nation was ever created in the lands of the world?

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ ۝۹

And how did He deal with Thamud who hewed out rocks in the valley?

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ ۝١۰

And with Pharaoh of the tent pegs

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ۝١١

who transgressed in the countries of the world

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ ۝١٢

spreading in them much corruption?

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ۝١۳

Then their Lord unloosed upon them the lash of chastisement.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ ۝١٤

Truly your Lord is ever watchful.

فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ ۝١٥

As for man, when his Lord tests him by exalting him and bestowing His bounties upon him, he says: “My Lord has exalted me.”

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ ۝١٦

But when He tests him by straitening his sustenance, he says: “My Lord has humiliated me.”

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ ۝١۷

But no; you do not treat the orphan honourably,

وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ۝١۸

and do not urge one another to feed the poor,

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا ۝١۹

and greedily devour the entire inheritance,

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا ۝٢۰

and love the riches, loving them ardently.

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا ۝٢١

But no; when the earth is ground to powder,

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا ۝٢٢

and when your Lord appears with rows upon rows of angels,

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ۝٢۳

and when Hell is brought near that Day. On that Day will man understand, but of what avail will that understanding be?

يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى ۝٢٤

He will say: “Would that I had sent ahead what would be of avail for this life of mine!”

فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٢٥

Then on that Day Allah will chastise as none other can chastise;

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ ۝٢٦

and Allah will bind as none other can bind.

يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ۝٢۷

(On the other hand it will be said): “O serene soul!

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ ۝٢۸

Return to your Lord well-pleased (with your blissful destination), well-pleasing (to your Lord).

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى ۝٢۹

So enter among My (righteous) servants

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى ۝۳۰

and enter My Paradise.”
