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

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ ﴿١﴾

By the heaven with its Houses,

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ ﴿٢﴾

by the Promised Day,

وَشَاهِدٍۢ وَمَشْهُودٍۢ ﴿٣﴾

by the Witness and the Witnessed:

قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ ﴿٤﴾

perish the People of the Ditch!

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ ﴿٥﴾

The fire abounding in fuel,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌۭ ﴿٦﴾

above which they sat

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌۭ ﴿٧﴾

as they were themselves witnesses to what they did to the faithful.

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

They were vindictive towards them only because they had faith in Allah, the All-mighty and the All-laudable,

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

to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is witness to all things.

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

Indeed those who persecute the faithful, men and women, and do not repent thereafter, there is the punishment of hell for them and the punishment of burning.

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

Indeed those who have faith and do righteous deeds—for them will be gardens with streams running in them. That is the supreme success.

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ ﴿١٢﴾

Indeed your Lord’s striking is severe.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ ﴿١٣﴾

It is indeed He who originates and brings back,

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ ﴿١٤﴾

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

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ ﴿١٥﴾

Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious,

فَعَّالٌۭ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ﴿١٦﴾

doer of what He desires.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ﴿١٧﴾

Did you receive the story of the hosts

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ ﴿١٨﴾

of Pharaoh and Thamud?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍۢ ﴿١٩﴾

Indeed the faithless dwell in denial,

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ ﴿٢٠﴾

and Allah besieges them from all around.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌۭ مَّجِيدٌۭ ﴿٢١﴾

Indeed it is a glorious Quran,

فِى لَوْحٍۢ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ ﴿٢٢﴾

in a preserved tablet.
