Al-Burooj -- The Constellations

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡبُرُوجِ

By the sky containing great stars

وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡمَوۡعُودِ

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدࣲ وَمَشۡهُودࣲ‏

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed

قُتِلَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأُخۡدُودِ

Cursed were the companions of the trench

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡوَقُودِ

[Containing] the fire full of fuel

إِذۡ هُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا قُعُودࣱ‏

When they were sitting near it

وَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفۡعَلُونَ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ شُهُودࣱ‏

And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses

وَمَا نَقَمُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤۡمِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ

And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy

ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ شَهِيدٌ

To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُواْ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَتُوبُواْ فَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ

Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتࣱ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment

إِنَّ بَطۡشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ

Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبۡدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats

وَهُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلۡوَدُودُ

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate

ذُو ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡمَجِيدُ

Honorable Owner of the Throne

فَعَّالࣱ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

Effecter of what He intends

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلۡجُنُودِ

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers

فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَثَمُودَ

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي تَكۡذِيبࣲ‏

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطُۢ

While Allah encompasses them from behind

بَلۡ هُوَ قُرۡءَانࣱ مَّجِيدࣱ‏

But this is an honored Qur'an

فِي لَوۡحࣲ مَّحۡفُوظِۭ

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate
