Surah Al-Buruj — The Mansions of the Stars

وَالسَّمَاۤءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوْجِۙ

Was-samā'i żātil-burūj(i).

By the sky containing great stars

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُوْدِۙ

Wal-yaumil-mau‘ūd(i).

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدٍ وَّمَشْهُوْدٍۗ

Wa syāhidiw wa masyhūd(in).

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

قُتِلَ اَصْحٰبُ الْاُخْدُوْدِۙ

Qutila aṣḥābul-ukhdūd(i).

Destroyed [i.e., cursed] were the companions of the trench

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُوْدِۙ

An-nāri żātil-waqūd(i).

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,

اِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُوْدٌۙ

Iż hum ‘alaihā qu‘ūd(un).

When they were sitting near it.

وَّهُمْ عَلٰى مَا يَفْعَلُوْنَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ شُهُوْدٌ ۗ

Wa hum ‘alā mā yaf‘alūna bil-mu'minīna syuhūd(un).

And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses.

وَمَا نَقَمُوْا مِنْهُمْ اِلَّآ اَنْ يُّؤْمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَزِيْزِ الْحَمِيْدِۙ

Wa mā naqamū minhum illā ay yu'minū billāhil-‘azīzil-ḥamīd(i).

And they resented them not except because they believed in Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy,

الَّذِيْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ۗوَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ ۗ

Allażī lahū mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wallāhu ‘alā kulli syai'in syahīd(un).

To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh, over all things, is Witness.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوْبُوْا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيْقِۗ

Innal-lażīna fatanul-mu'minīna wal-mu'mināti ṡumma lam yatūbū fa lahum ‘ażābu jahannama wa lahum ‘ażābul-ḥarīq(i).

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.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٌ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ەۗ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيْرُۗ

Innal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti lahum jannātun tajrī min taḥtihal-anhār(u), żālikal-fauzul-kabīr(u).

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment.

اِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيْدٌ ۗ

Inna baṭsya rabbika lasyadīd(un).

Indeed, the assault [i.e., vengeance] of your Lord is severe.

اِنَّهٗ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيْدُۚ

Innahū huwa yubdi'u wa yu‘īd(u).

Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats.

وَهُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الْوَدُوْدُۙ

Wa huwal-gafūrul-wadūd(u).

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيْدُۙ

Żul-‘arsyil-majīd(i).

Honorable Owner of the Throne,

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيْدُۗ

Fa‘‘ālul limā yurīd(u).

Effecter of what He intends.

هَلْ اَتٰىكَ حَدِيْثُ الْجُنُوْدِۙ

Hal atāka ḥadīṡul-junūd(i).

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُوْدَۗ

Fir‘auna wa ṡamūd(a).

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamūd?

بَلِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فِيْ تَكْذِيْبٍۙ

Balil-lażīna kafarū fī takżīb(in).

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

وَّاللّٰهُ مِنْ وَّرَاۤىِٕهِمْ مُّحِيْطٌۚ

Wallāhu miw warā'ihim muḥīṭ(un).

While Allāh encompasses them from behind.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْاٰنٌ مَّجِيْدٌۙ

Bal huwa qur'ānum majīd(un).

But this is an honored Qur’ān

فِيْ لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوْظٍ ࣖ

Fī lauḥim maḥfūẓ(in).
