Al-Buruj

By the sky containing great stars

wal-samāi dhāti l-burūji

And [by] the promised Day

wal-yawmi l-mawʿūdi

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

washāhidin wamashhūdin

Cursed were the companions of the trench

qutila aṣḥābu l-ukh'dūdi

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,

al-nāri dhāti l-waqūdi

When they were sitting near it

idh hum ʿalayhā quʿūdun

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

wahum ʿalā mā yafʿalūna bil-mu'minīna shuhūdun

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

wamā naqamū min'hum illā an yu'minū bil-lahi l-ʿazīzi l-ḥamīdi

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

alladhī lahu mul'ku l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wal-lahu ʿalā kulli shayin shahīdun

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.

inna alladhīna fatanū l-mu'minīna wal-mu'mināti thumma lam yatūbū falahum ʿadhābu jahannama walahum ʿadhābu l-ḥarīqi

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

inna alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti lahum jannātun tajrī min taḥtihā l-anhāru dhālika l-fawzu l-kabīru

Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe.

inna baṭsha rabbika lashadīdun

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

innahu huwa yub'di-u wayuʿīdu

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

wahuwa l-ghafūru l-wadūdu

Honorable Owner of the Throne,

dhū l-ʿarshi l-majīdu

Effecter of what He intends.

faʿʿālun limā yurīdu

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

hal atāka ḥadīthu l-junūdi

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?

fir'ʿawna wathamūda

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

bali alladhīna kafarū fī takdhībin

While Allah encompasses them from behind.

wal-lahu min warāihim muḥīṭun

But this is an honored Qur'an

bal huwa qur'ānun majīdun
