Surah Al-Burooj

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ

By the sky containing great stars

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدٍۢ وَمَشْهُودٍۢ

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ

Cursed were the companions of the trench

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌۭ

When they were sitting near it

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌۭ

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

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ

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

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ شَهِيدٌ

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

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

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.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌۭ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ

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

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ

Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

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

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ

Honorable Owner of the Throne,

فَعَّالٌۭ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

Effecter of what He intends.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍۢ

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ

While Allah encompasses them from behind.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌۭ مَّجِيدٌۭ

But this is an honored Qur'an

فِى لَوْحٍۢ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.
