Al-Buruj

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ

wal-samāi dhāti l-burūji

By the sky containing great stars

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ

wal-yawmi l-mawʿūdi

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ

washāhidin wamashhūdin

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

قُتِلَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ

qutila aṣḥābu l-ukh'dūdi

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

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ

al-nāri dhāti l-waqūdi

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ

idh hum ʿalayhā quʿūdun

When they were sitting near it.

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ

wahum ʿalā mā yafʿalūna bil-mu'minīna shuhūdun

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

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ

wamā naqamū min'hum illā an yu'minū bil-lahi l-ʿazīzi l-ḥamīdi

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

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

alladhī lahu mul'ku l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wal-lahu ʿalā kulli shayin shahīdun

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

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

inna alladhīna fatanū l-mu'minīna wal-mu'mināti thumma lam yatūbū falahum ʿadhābu jahannama walahum ʿadhābu l-ḥarīqi

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 ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ

inna alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti lahum jannātun tajrī min taḥtihā l-anhāru dhālika l-fawzu l-kabīru

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

inna baṭsha rabbika lashadīdun

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

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

innahu huwa yub'di-u wayuʿīdu

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

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ

wahuwa l-ghafūru l-wadūdu

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ

dhū l-ʿarshi l-majīdu

Honorable Owner of the Throne,

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

faʿʿālun limā yurīdu

Effecter of what He intends.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ

hal atāka ḥadīthu l-junūdi

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

fir'ʿawna wathamūda

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamūd?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍ

bali alladhīna kafarū fī takdhībin

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ

wal-lahu min warāihim muḥīṭun

While Allāh encompasses them from behind.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ

bal huwa qur'ānun majīdun

But this is an honored Qur’ān

فِى لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ
