85. Surah Al-Buruj The Constellations

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful

وَالسَّمَٓاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِۙ

Wassama-i thatialburooj

By Heaven with its Houses of the Zodiac,

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِۙ

Walyawmi almawAAood

and the Promised Day,

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍۜ

Washahidin wamashhood

and the witness and the witnessed,

قُتِلَ اَصْحَابُ الْاُخْدُودِۙ

Qutila as-habu alukhdood

cursed be the Companions of the Pit –

اَلنَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِۙ

Annari thati alwaqood

the fire well stocked with fuel –

اِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌۙ

Ith hum AAalayha quAAood

when they were seated right beside it

وَهُمْ عَلٰى مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ شُهُودٌۜ

Wahum AAala ma yafAAaloona bilmu/mineenashuhood

witnessing what they did to the muminun.

وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ اِلَّٓا اَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَز۪يزِ الْحَم۪يدِۙ

Wama naqamoo minhum illa anyu/minoo billahi alAAazeezi alhameed

The only reason they punished them was because they had iman in Allah, the Almighty, the All-Praiseworthy –

اَلَّذ۪ي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَه۪يدٌۜ

Allathee lahu mulku assamawatiwal-ardi wallahu AAala kullishay-in shaheed

Him to whom the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs. Allah is Witness of all things.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَر۪يقِۜ

Inna allatheena fatanoo almu/mineenawalmu/minati thumma lam yatooboo falahum AAathabujahannama walahum AAathabu alhareeq

Those who persecute men and women of the muminun, and then do not make tawba, will have the punishment of Hell, will have the punishment of the Burning.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُۜ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْـكَب۪يرُۜ

Inna allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati lahum jannatuntajree min tahtiha al-anharu thalikaalfawzu alkabeer

But those who have iman and do right actions will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. That is the Great Victory.

اِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَد۪يدٌۜ

Inna batsha rabbika lashadeed

Your Lord’s Assault is very fierce indeed.

اِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُع۪يدُۚ

Innahu huwa yubdi-o wayuAAeed

He originates and regenerates.

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُۙ

Wahuwa alghafooru alwadood

He is the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Loving,

ذُوالْعَرْشِ الْمَج۪يدُۙ

Thoo alAAarshi almajeed

the Possessor of the Throne, the All-Glorious,

فَعَّالٌ لِمَا يُر۪يدُۜ

FaAAAAalun lima yureed

the Doer of whatever He desires.

هَلْ اَتٰيكَ حَد۪يثُ الْجُنُودِۙ

Hal ataka hadeethu aljunood

Has the story reached you of the legions

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَۜ

FirAAawna wathamood

of Pharaoh and Thamud?

بَلِ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا ف۪ي تَكْذ۪يبٍۙ

Bali allatheena kafaroo fee taktheeb

Yet those who are kafir insist on their denial

وَاللّٰهُ مِنْ وَرَٓائِهِمْ مُح۪يطٌۚ

Wallahu min wara-ihimmuheet

while Allah is encircling them from behind.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْاٰنٌ مَج۪يدٌۙ

Bal huwa qur-anun majeed

It is indeed a Glorious Qur’an

ف۪ي لَوْحٍ مَحْفُوظٍ

Fee lawhin mahfooth

preserved on a Tablet.
