Al-Buruj
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡبُرُوجِ
By the sky full of constellations,
وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡمَوۡعُودِ
and the promised Day ˹of Judgment˺,
وَشَاهِدٖ وَمَشۡهُودٖ
and the witness and what is witnessed!1
قُتِلَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأُخۡدُودِ
Condemned are the makers of the ditch—
ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡوَقُودِ
the fire ˹pit˺, filled with fuel—
إِذۡ هُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا قُعُودٞ
when they sat around it,
وَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفۡعَلُونَ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ شُهُودٞ
watching what they had ˹ordered to be˺ done to the believers,
وَمَا نَقَمُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤۡمِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ
who they resented for no reason other than belief in Allah—the Almighty, the Praiseworthy—
ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ
˹the One˺ to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is a Witness over all things.
