Surah Al-Buruj

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ ﴿١﴾

By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars,

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ ﴿٢﴾

And by the Promised Day.

وَشَاهِدٍۢ وَمَشْهُودٍۢ ﴿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 قُعُودٌۭ ﴿٦﴾

When they sat by it,

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌۭ ﴿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 شَىْءٍۢ 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 جَنَّٰتٌۭ 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,

فَعَّالٌۭ 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 تَكْذِيبٍۢ ﴿١٩﴾

Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ ﴿٢٠﴾

And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌۭ مَّجِيدٌۭ ﴿٢١﴾

Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an.

فِى لَوْحٍۢ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ ﴿٢٢﴾

On a guarded tablet.
