English - Chapter 85 - Al-Buruj

By the sky full of constellations

and the promised Day ˹of Judgment˺

and the witness and what is witnessed

Condemned are the makers of the ditch—

the fire ˹pit˺, filled with fuel—

when they sat around it

watching what they had ˹ordered to be˺ done to the believers

who they resented for no reason other than belief in Allah—the Almighty, the Praiseworthy—

˹the One˺ to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is a Witness over all things

Those who persecute the believing men and women and then do not repent will certainly suffer the punishment of Hell and the torment of burning

Surely those who believe and do good will have Gardens under which rivers flow. That is the greatest triumph

Indeed, the ˹crushing˺ grip of your Lord is severe

And He is the All-Forgiving, All-Loving—

Lord of the Throne, the All-Glorious

Doer of whatever He wills

Has the story of the ˹destroyed˺ forces reached you ˹O Prophet˺—

˹the forces of˺ Pharaoh and Thamûd

Yet the disbelievers ˹still˺ persist in denial

But Allah encompasses them from all sides

In fact, this is a glorious Quran

˹recorded˺ in a Preserved Tablet
