Al-Buruj
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡبُرُوجِ
I swear by the sky, the one having stellar formations,
وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡمَوۡعُودِ
and by the Promised Day,
وَشَاهِدٖ وَمَشۡهُودٖ
and by that which attends, and that which is attended,
قُتِلَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأُخۡدُودِ
cursed were the People of the Trench,
ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡوَقُودِ
the (people of the) fire that was rich with fuel,
إِذۡ هُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا قُعُودٞ
when they were sitting by it,
وَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفۡعَلُونَ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ شُهُودٞ
and were watching what they were doing with the believers.
وَمَا نَقَمُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤۡمِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ
They punished them for nothing but that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the Worthy of All Praise,
ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ
the One to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is witness over every thing.
