Surah The Mansions of the stars [Al-Burooj] Ayah 22 Location Maccah Number 85

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ ﴿١﴾

By heaven of the constellations,

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ ﴿٢﴾

by the promised day,

وَشَاهِدٍۢ وَمَشْهُودٍۢ ﴿٣﴾

by the witness and the witnessed,

قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ ﴿٤﴾

slain were the Men of the Pit,

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ ﴿٥﴾

the fire abounding in fuel,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌۭ ﴿٦﴾

when they were seated over it

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌۭ ﴿٧﴾

and were themselves witnesses of what they did with the believers.

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ ﴿٨﴾

They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable,

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ شَهِيدٌ ﴿٩﴾

God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ﴿١٠﴾

Those who persecute the believers, men and women, and then have not repented, there awaits them the chastisement of Gehenna, and there awaits them the chastisement of the burning.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌۭ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ﴿١١﴾

Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph.

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ ﴿١٢﴾

Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ ﴿١٣﴾

Surely it is He who originates, and brings again,

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ ﴿١٤﴾

and He is the All-forgiving, the All-loving,

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ ﴿١٥﴾

Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious,

فَعَّالٌۭ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ﴿١٦﴾

Performer of what He desires.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ﴿١٧﴾

Hast thou received the story of the hosts,

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ ﴿١٨﴾

Pharaoh and Thamood?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍۢ ﴿١٩﴾

Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies,

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ ﴿٢٠﴾

and God is behind them, encompassing.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌۭ مَّجِيدٌۭ ﴿٢١﴾

Nay, but it is a glorious Koran,

فِى لَوْحٍۢ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ ﴿٢٢﴾

in a guarded tablet.
