By the sky containing great stars
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء ذات البروج
Waalssamai thati alburooji
And [by] the promised Day
واليوم الموعود
Waalyawmi almawAAoodi
And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,
وشاهد ومشهود
Washahidin wamashhoodin

Inna allatheena fatanoo almumineena waalmuminati thumma lam yatooboo falahum AAathabu jahannama walahum AAathabu alhareeqi
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment.
إن الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار ۚ ذلك الفوز الكبير
