Surah The Mansions of the stars [Al-Burooj] in English

By the heaven with its impregnable castles;

by the Promised Day,

and by the witness and what is witnessed:

the people of the pit were destroyed

with fire abounding in fuel,

while they sat around it,

and were witnessing what they did to the believers.

Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy,

to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Allah witnesses everything.

Surely those who tormented the believing men and the believing women and then did not repent, theirs shall be the chastisement of Hell, and theirs shall be the chastisement of burning.

As for those who believed and acted righteously, theirs shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great triumph.

Stern indeed is your Lord's punishment.

He it is Who creates for the first time and He it is Who will create again,

and He is the Ever Forgiving, the Most Loving

– the Lord of the Glorious Throne,

the Executor of what He wills.

Has the story of the armies reached you,

the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud?

The unbelievers are indeed engaged in denying it, calling it a lie,

although Allah surrounds them.

Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an,
