وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ
By the sky with its constellations,
The Constellations · al-Buruj · سورة البروج · 22 ayahs
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ
and by the promised Day,
وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ
by the Witness and the witnessed,
قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ
destroyed were the people of the trench,
النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ
the makers of the fuel-stoked fire!
إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ
They sat by it
وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ
to watch what they were doing to the believers,
وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ
whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy,
الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ
to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God is witness over all things.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ
Those who persecute the believing men and believing women, and then do not repent, will surely suffer the punishment of Hell, and the torment of burning.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ
But those who believe and do good deeds shall be rewarded with gardens watered by flowing rivers. That is the supreme triumph.
إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ
The grip of your Lord is indeed severe,
إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ
it is He who begins and repeats [His creation],
وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ
and He is the Forgiving and Loving One.
ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ
The Lord of the Glorious Throne,
فَعَّالٌ لِمَا يُرِيدُ
Executor of His own will.
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ
Have you not heard the story of the hosts
فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ
of Pharaoh and Thamud?
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ
Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial.
وَاللَّهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ مُحِيطٌ
God encompasses them from all sides.
بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَجِيدٌ
It is indeed a glorious Quran,
فِي لَوْحٍ مَحْفُوظٍ
written on a preserved Tablet.
