Al-Burooj

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ

By the sky full of constellations

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ

and the promised Day ˹of Judgment˺

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ

and the witness and what is witnessed!

قُتِلَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ

Condemned are the makers of the ditch—

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ

the fire ˹pit˺, filled with fuel—

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ

when they sat around it

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ

watching what they had ˹ordered to be˺ done to the believers

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ

who they resented for no reason other than belief in Allah—the Almighty, the Praiseworthy—

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

˹the One˺ to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is a Witness over all things.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ

Those who persecute the believing men and women and then do not repent will certainly suffer the punishment of Hell and the torment of burning.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ

Surely those who believe and do good will have Gardens under which rivers flow. That is the greatest triumph.

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ

Indeed, the ˹crushing˺ grip of your Lord is severe.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

˹For˺ He is certainly the One Who originates and resurrects ˹all˺.

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ

And He is the All-Forgiving, All-Loving—

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ

Lord of the Throne, the All-Glorious

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

Doer of whatever He wills.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ

Has the story of the ˹destroyed˺ forces reached you ˹O Prophet˺—

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

˹the forces of˺ Pharaoh and Thamûd?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍ

Yet the disbelievers ˹still˺ persist in denial.

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ

But Allah encompasses them from all sides.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ

In fact, this is a glorious Quran

فِى لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ

˹recorded˺ in a Preserved Tablet.
