Surah Al-Buruj

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوْجِ 1

By the sky containing great stars

وَالْیَوْمِ الْمَوْعُوْدِ 2

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدٍ وَّمَشْهُوْدٍ ۟ؕ 3

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

قُتِلَ اَصْحٰبُ الْاُخْدُوْدِ 4

Destroyed [i.e., cursed] were the companions of the trench

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُوْدِ 5

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,

اِذْ هُمْ عَلَیْهَا قُعُوْدٌ 6

When they were sitting near it.

وَّهُمْ عَلٰی مَا یَفْعَلُوْنَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ شُهُوْدٌ ۟ؕ 7

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

وَمَا نَقَمُوْا مِنْهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یُّؤْمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَزِیْزِ الْحَمِیْدِ 8

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

الَّذِیْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ شَهِیْدٌ ۟ؕ 9

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

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ یَتُوْبُوْا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِیْقِ ۟ؕ 10

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.

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٌ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ؔؕ۬ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِیْرُ ۟ؕ 11

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

اِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِیْدٌ ۟ؕ 12

Indeed, the assault [i.e., vengeance] of your Lord is severe.

اِنَّهٗ هُوَ یُبْدِئُ وَیُعِیْدُ 13

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

وَهُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الْوَدُوْدُ 14

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِیْدُ 15

Honorable Owner of the Throne,

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا یُرِیْدُ ۟ؕ 16

Effecter of what He intends.

هَلْ اَتٰىكَ حَدِیْثُ الْجُنُوْدِ 17

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُوْدَ ۟ؕ 18

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamūd?

بَلِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فِیْ تَكْذِیْبٍ 19

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

وَّاللّٰهُ مِنْ وَّرَآىِٕهِمْ مُّحِیْطٌ 20

While Allāh encompasses them from behind.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْاٰنٌ مَّجِیْدٌ 21

But this is an honored Qur’ān

فِیْ لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوْظٍ 22
