English - Chapter 85 - Al-Buruj

By the heaven and its constellations

By the witnesses and that which is being witnessed

Doomed be the makers of the ditch

who lit the fuel-fed fire

and sat around it

to watch what they were doing to the believers

They tortured them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the Praise Worthy

the One to Whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth, and Allah is Witness to all things

Those who persecute the believing men and believing women and do not repent, shall receive the punishment of hell, wherein they shall have the punishment of conflagration

As for those who believe and do good deeds, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow; which will be the greatest success

Surely, the seizure of your Lord is very severe

Surely, He it is Who originates the creation of everything, and He it is Who will repeat it on the Day of Resurrection

He is the Forgiving, the Loving

the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious

and the executor of His own will

Have you not heard the story of the warriors

of Pharaoh and of Thamud

Yet the unbelievers persist in denying the truth

although Allah has encircled them from all around

Surely this is a Glorious Qur’an

inscribed on an Imperishable Tablet
