Al Buruj

Shakir

1 I swear by the mansions of the stars,

Shakir

2 And the promised day,

Shakir

3 And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne.

Shakir

4 Cursed be the makers of the pit,

Shakir

5 Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel,

Shakir

6 When they sat by it,

Shakir

7 And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers.

Shakir

8 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised,

Shakir

9 Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things.

Shakir

10 Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning.

Shakir

11 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement.

Shakir

12 Surely the might of your Lord is great.

Shakir

13 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces,

Shakir

14 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,

Shakir

15 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious,

Shakir

16 The great doer of what He will.

Shakir

17 Has not there come to you the story of the hosts,

Shakir

18 Of Firon and Samood?

Shakir

19 Nay! those who disbelieve are in (the act of) giving the lie to the truth.

Shakir

20 And Allah encompasses them on every side.

Shakir

21 Nay! it is a glorious Quran,

Shakir

22 In a guarded tablet.
