85. THE CONSTELLATIONS (al-Buruj)

In the name of Allah,
the Gracious, the Merciful

1. By the sky with the constellations.
2. And by the Promised Day.
3. And by the witness and the witnessed.
4. Destroyed were the People of the Trench.
5. The fire supplied with fuel.
6. While they sat around it.
7. And were witnessing what they did to the
   believers.
8. They begrudged them only because they believed in Allah the Almighty, the Praiseworthy.
9. To Whom belongs the sovereignty of the
   heavens and the earth. Allah is witness over
   everything.
10. Those who tempt the believers, men and
    women, then do not repent; for them is the
    punishment of Hell; for them is the punishment of Burning.
11. Those who believe and do righteous deeds
    will have Gardens beneath which rivers flow.
    That is the great triumph.
12. The onslaught of your Lord is severe.
13. It is He who begins and repeats.
14. And He is the Forgiving, the Loving.
15. Possessor of the Glorious Throne.
16. Doer of whatever He wills.
17. Has there come to you the story of the legions?
18. Of Pharaoh and Thamood?
19. In fact, those who disbelieve are in denial.
20. And Allah encloses them from beyond.
21. In fact, it is a Glorious Quran.
22. In a Preserved Tablet.
