The Mansions of the Stars

البروج

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ ١

By the sky full of constellations

2

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ ٢

and the promised Day ˹of Judgment˺

3

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ ٣

and the witness and what is witnessed

4

قُتِلَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ ٤

Condemned are the makers of the ditch—

5

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ ٥

the fire ˹pit˺, filled with fuel—

6

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ ٦

when they sat around it

7

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ ٧

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

8

وَمَا نَقَمُواْ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ ٨

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

9

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ‌ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ٩

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

10

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُواْ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُواْ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ١٠

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

11

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ‌ۚ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ١١

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

12

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ ١٢

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

13

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ ١٣

˹For˺ He is certainly the One Who originates and resurrects ˹all˺

14

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ ١٤

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

15

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ ١٥

Lord of the Throne, the All-Glorious

16

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ١٦

Doer of whatever He wills

17

هَلْ أَتَـٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ١٧

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

18

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ ١٨

˹the forces of˺ Pharaoh and Thamûd

19

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِى تَكْذِيبٍ ١٩

Yet the disbelievers ˹still˺ persist in denial

20

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطُۢ ٢٠

But Allah encompasses them from all sides

21

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ ٢١

In fact, this is a glorious Quran

22

فِى لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظِۭ ٢٢

˹recorded˺ in a Preserved Tablet
