85. Al-Buruj

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ﴿١﴾

By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ﴿٢﴾

And by the Promised Day

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ﴿٣﴾

And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony

قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ﴿٤﴾

(Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ﴿٥﴾

Of the fuel-fed fire

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ﴿٦﴾

When they sat by it

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ﴿٧﴾

And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ﴿٨﴾

They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ﴿٩﴾

Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ﴿١٠﴾

Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ﴿١١﴾

Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ﴿١٢﴾

Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ﴿١٣﴾

Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ﴿١٤﴾

And He is the Forgiving, the Loving

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ﴿١٥﴾

Lord of the Throne of Glory

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ﴿١٦﴾

Doer of what He will

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ﴿١٧﴾

Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ﴿١٨﴾

Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍ﴿١٩﴾

Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ﴿٢٠﴾

And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ﴿٢١﴾

Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an

فِى لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ﴿٢٢﴾

On a guarded tablet
