Surah 85 · 22 ayahs · Meccan Surah Al-Buruj — The Mansions of the Stars

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ

Wassamaaa'i zaatil burooj

By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ

Wal yawmil maw'ood

By the promised Day (of Judgment);

وَشَاهِدٍۢ وَمَشْهُودٍۢ

Wa shaahidinw wa mashhood

By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;-

قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ

Qutila as haabul ukhdood

Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ

Annaari zaatil waqood

Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌۭ

Iz hum 'alaihaa qu'ood

Behold! they sat over against the (fire),

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌۭ

Wa hum 'alaa maa yaf'aloona bilmu 'mineena shuhood

And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ

Wa maa naqamoo minhum illaaa aiyu'minoo billaahil 'azeezil Hameed

And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ شَهِيدٌ

Allazee lahoo mulkus samaawaati wal ard; wallaahu 'alaa kulli shai 'in Shaheed

Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things.

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

Innal lazeena fatanul mu'mineena wal mu'minaati summa lam yatooboo falahum 'azaabu Jahannama wa lahum 'azaabul hareeq

Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire.

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

Innal lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati lahum Jannaatun tajree min tahtihal anhaar; zaalikal fawzul kabeer

For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires),

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ

Inna batsha Rabbika lashadeed

Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

Innahoo Huwa yubdi'u wa yu'eed

It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life).

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ

Wa Huwal Ghafoorul Wadood

And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness,

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ

Zul 'Arshil Majeed

Lord of the Throne of Glory,

فَعَّالٌۭ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

Fa' 'aalul limaa yureed

Doer (without let) of all that He intends.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ

Hal ataaka hadeesul junood

Has the story reached thee, of the forces-

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

Fir'awna wa Samood

Of Pharaoh and the Thamud?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍۢ

Balil lazeena kafaroo fee takzeeb

And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)!

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ

Wallaahu minw waraaa'ihim muheet

But Allah doth encompass them from behind!

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌۭ مَّجِيدٌۭ

Bal huwa Quraanum Majeed

Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an,

فِى لَوْحٍۢ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ

Fee Lawhim Mahfooz

(Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!
