English - Chapter 85 - Al-Buruj

By the heaven adorned with signs

by the witness, and the witnessed

cursed were the contrivers of the pit

of fire supplied with fuel

when they sat round the same

and were witnesses of what they did against the true believers

And they afflicted them for no other reason, but because they believed in the mighty, the glorious God

unto whom belongeth the kingdom of heaven and earth: And God is witness of all things

Verily for those who persecute the true believers of either sex, and afterwards repent not, is prepared the torment of hell; and they shall suffer the pain of burning

But for those who believe, and do that which is right, are destined gardens beneath which rivers flow: This shall be great felicity

Verily the vengeance of thy Lord is severe

He createth, and He restoreth to life

He is inclined to forgive, and gracious

The possessor of the glorious throne

who effecteth that which He pleaseth

Hath not the story of the hosts

of Pharaoh, and of Thamud, reached thee

Yet the unbelievers cease not to accuse the divine revelations of falsehood

But God encompasseth them behind, that they cannot escape

Verily that which they reject is a glorious Koran

the original whereof is written in a table kept in heaven
