By the sky containing great stars
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء ذات البروج
Chapter 85, 22 verses
By the sky containing great stars
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء ذات البروج
And [by] the promised Day
واليوم الموعود
And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,
وشاهد ومشهود
Cursed were the companions of the trench
قتل أصحاب الأخدود
[Containing] the fire full of fuel,
النار ذات الوقود
When they were sitting near it
إذ هم عليها قعود
And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses.
وهم على ما يفعلون بالمؤمنين شهود
And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy,
وما نقموا منهم إلا أن يؤمنوا بالله العزيز الحميد
To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness.
الذي له ملك السماوات والأرض ۚ والله على كل شيء شهيد
Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire.
إن الذين فتنوا المؤمنين والمؤمنات ثم لم يتوبوا فلهم عذاب جهنم ولهم عذاب الحريق
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
Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe.
إن بطش ربك لشديد
Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats.
إنه هو يبدئ ويعيد
And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,
وهو الغفور الودود
Honorable Owner of the Throne,
ذو العرش المجيد
Effecter of what He intends.
فعال لما يريد
Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -
هل أتاك حديث الجنود
[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?
فرعون وثمود
But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,
بل الذين كفروا في تكذيب
While Allah encompasses them from behind.
والله من ورائهم محيط
But this is an honored Qur'an
بل هو قرآن مجيد
[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.
