Surah Al-Buruj

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ ۝١

By the sky with its constellations,

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ ۝٢

and by the promised Day,

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ ۝٣

by the Witness and the witnessed,

قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ ۝٤

destroyed were the people of the trench,

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ ۝٥

the makers of the fuel-stoked fire!

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ ۝٦

They sat by it

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ ۝٧

to watch what they were doing to the believers,

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ ۝٨

whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy,

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ۝٩

to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God is witness over all things.

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

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 ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ۝١١

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 ۝١٢

The grip of your Lord is indeed severe,

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ ۝١٣

it is He who begins and repeats [His creation],

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ ۝١٤

and He is the Forgiving and Loving One.

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ ۝١٥

The Lord of the Glorious Throne,

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ۝١٦

Executor of His own will.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ۝١٧

Have you not heard the story of the hosts

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ ۝١٨

of Pharaoh and Thamud?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍ ۝١٩

Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial.

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ ۝٢٠

God encompasses them from all sides.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ ۝٢١

It is indeed a glorious Quran,

فِى لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ ۝٢٢

written on a preserved Tablet.
