Surah Al-Burooj سُورَةُ البُرُوجِ

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ1

By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ2

By the promised Day (of Judgment);

وَشَاهِدٍۢ وَمَشْهُودٍۢ3

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

قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ4

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

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ5

Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌۭ6

Behold! they sat over against the (fire),

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌۭ7

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

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ8

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 شَهِيدٌ9

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 ٱلْحَرِيقِ10

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 ٱلْكَبِيرُ11

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 لَشَدِيدٌ12

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

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ13

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

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ14

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

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ15

Lord of the Throne of Glory,

فَعَّالٌۭ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ16

Doer (without let) of all that He intends.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ17

Has the story reached thee, of the forces-

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ18

Of Pharaoh and the Thamud?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍۢ19

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

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ20

But Allah doth encompass them from behind!

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌۭ مَّجِيدٌۭ21

Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an,

فِى لَوْحٍۢ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ22

(Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!
