البروج

Al-Burooj

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِیمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ(1)

By the sky containing great stars(1)

وَالْیَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ(2)

And [by] the promised Day(2)

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ(3)

  [ And by] the witness and what is witnessed,(3)

قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ الْأُخْدُودِ(4)

Cursed were the companions of the trench(4)

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ(5)

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,(5)

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَیْهَا قُعُودٌ(6)

When they were sitting near it(6)

وَهُمْ عَلَیٰ مَا یَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِینَ شُهُودٌ(7)

And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses(7)

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن یُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِیزِ الْحَمِیدِ(8)

And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy,(8)

الَّذِی لَهُ مُلْکُ السَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ عَلَیٰ کُلِّ شَیْءٍ شَهِیدٌ(9)

To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness(9)

إِنَّ الَّذِینَ فَتَنُوا۟ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ یَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِیقِ(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(10)

إِنَّ الَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ الصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌ تَجْرِی مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَٰرُ ذَٰلِکَ الْفَوْزُ الْکَبِیرُ(11)

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment(11)

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّکَ لَشَدِیدٌ(12)

Indeed the vengeance of your Lord is severe(12)

إِنَّهُ هُوَ یُبْدِئُ وَیُعِیدُ(13)

Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats(13)

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ(14)

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,(14)

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِیدُ(15)

Honorable Owner of the Throne,(15)

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا یُرِیدُ(16)

Effecter of what He intends(16)

هَلْ أَتَیٰکَ حَدِیثُ الْجُنُودِ(17)

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -(17)

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ(18)

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?(18)

بَلِ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُوا۟ فِی تَکْذِیبٍ(19)

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,(19)

وَاللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِیطٌۢ(20)

While Allah encompasses them from behind(20)

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِیدٌ(21)

But this is an honored Qur’an(21)

فِی لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ(22)

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate(22)
