وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ (1)
By the sky full of constellations |
وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ (2)
and by the promised Day |
وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ (3)
and by the witness and the witnessed |
قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ (4)
cursed be the makers of the trench |
النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ (5)
the fire full of fuel |
إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ (6)
when they sat around it |
وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ (7)
and were witnessing what they did to the believers |
وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ (8)
Their only grievance against them was that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the Praiseworthy |
الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ (9)
to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and earth, and Allah is Witness over all things |
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ (10)
Indeed, for those who tortured the believing men and women, then did not repent, there will be the punishment of Hell and the punishment of the burning fire |
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ (11)
But those who believed and did righteous deeds will certainly have gardens under which rivers flow; that is the supreme triumph |
إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ (12)
Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is severe |
إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ (13)
Indeed, it is He Who originates [the creation] then repeats it |
وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ (14)
and He is the All-Forgiving, the Most Affectionate |
ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ (15)
the Lord of the Glorious Throne |
فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ (16)
He does whatever He wills |
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ (17)
Has there not come to you the story of the forces |
فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ (18)
of Pharaoh and Thamūd |
بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ (19)
But the disbelievers are in persistent denial |
وَاللَّهُ مِن وَرَائِهِم مُّحِيطٌ (20)
although Allah encompasses them from all sides |
بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَّجِيدٌ (21)
But this is a glorious Qur’an |
فِي لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍ (22)
[inscribed] in a Preserved Tablet |
