Chapter 85, 22 verses
By the sky containing great stars
Waalssamai thati alburooji
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء ذات البروج
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ
And [by] the promised Day
Waalyawmi almawAAoodi
واليوم الموعود
وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ
And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,
Washahidin wamashhoodin
وشاهد ومشهود
وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ
Cursed were the companions of the trench
Qutila ashabu alukhdoodi
قتل أصحاب الأخدود
قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ
[Containing] the fire full of fuel,
Alnnari thati alwaqoodi
النار ذات الوقود
ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ
When they were sitting near it
Ith hum AAalayha quAAoodun
إذ هم عليها قعود
إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ
And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses.
Wahum AAala ma yafAAaloona bialmumineena shuhoodun
وهم على ما يفعلون بالمؤمنين شهود
وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ
And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy,
Wama naqamoo minhum illa an yuminoo biAllahi alAAazeezi alhameedi
وما نقموا منهم إلا أن يؤمنوا بالله العزيز الحميد
وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ
To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness.
Allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi waAllahu AAala kulli shayin shaheedun
الذي له ملك السماوات والأرض ۚ والله على كل شيء شهيد
ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ
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.
Inna allatheena fatanoo almumineena waalmuminati thumma lam yatooboo falahum AAathabu jahannama walahum AAathabu alhareeqi
إن الذين فتنوا المؤمنين والمؤمنات ثم لم يتوبوا فلهم عذاب جهنم ولهم عذاب الحريق
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment.
Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum jannatun tajree min tahtiha alanharu thalika alfawzu alkabeeru
إن الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار ۚ ذلك الفوز الكبير
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ
Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe.
Inna batsha rabbika lashadeedun
إن بطش ربك لشديد
إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ
Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats.
Innahu huwa yubdio wayuAAeedu
إنه هو يبدئ ويعيد
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ
And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,
Wahuwa alghafooru alwadoodu
وهو الغفور الودود
وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ
Honorable Owner of the Throne,
Thoo alAAarshi almajeedi
ذو العرش المجيد
ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ
Effecter of what He intends.
FaAAAAalun lima yureedu
فعال لما يريد
فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ
Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -
Hal ataka hadeethu aljunoodi
هل أتاك حديث الجنود
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ
[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?
FirAAawna wathamooda
فرعون وثمود
فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ
But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,
Bali allatheena kafaroo fee taktheebin
بل الذين كفروا في تكذيب
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍ
While Allah encompasses them from behind.
WaAllahu min waraihim muheetun
والله من ورائهم محيط
وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ
But this is an honored Qur'an
Bal huwa quranun majeedun
بل هو قرآن مجيد
بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ
