Surah The Mansions of the stars [Al-Burooj] in English
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ ﴿١﴾
By the heaven of the constellations!
وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ ﴿٢﴾
By the Promised Day!
وَشَاهِدٍۢ وَمَشْهُودٍۢ ﴿٣﴾
By the witness and the witnessed!
قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ ﴿٤﴾
The companions of the pit were killed
ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ ﴿٥﴾
the fire with its fuel,
إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌۭ ﴿٦﴾
when they were seated around it
وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌۭ ﴿٧﴾
and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers
وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ ﴿٨﴾
and their revenge on them was only because they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praised,
ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ شَهِيدٌ ﴿٩﴾
to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is the Witness of all things.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ﴿١٠﴾
Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them the punishment of the burning.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌۭ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ﴿١١﴾
(But) for those who believe and do good works, for them there are Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is the Great Victory!
إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ ﴿١٢﴾
Indeed, the seizing of your Lord is severe.
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ ﴿١٣﴾
It is He who originates and repeats.
وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ ﴿١٤﴾
And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving.
ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ ﴿١٥﴾
Owner of the Throne, the Exalted.
فَعَّالٌۭ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ﴿١٦﴾
The Doer of whatever He wants.
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ﴿١٧﴾
Has it come to you the story of the hosts
فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ ﴿١٨﴾
of Pharaoh and of Thamood?
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍۢ ﴿١٩﴾
Yet the unbelievers still belie,
وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ ﴿٢٠﴾
Allah encompasses them all from behind.
بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌۭ مَّجِيدٌۭ ﴿٢١﴾
Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran,
فِى لَوْحٍۢ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ ﴿٢٢﴾
in a Guarded Tablet.
