Al-Burooj

By the sky containing great stars

And [by] the promised Day

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed

Cursed were the companions of the trench

[Containing] the fire full of fuel

When they were sitting near it

And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses

And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy

To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness

Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment

Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe

Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate

Honorable Owner of the Throne

Effecter of what He intends

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial

While Allah encompasses them from behind

But this is an honored Qur'an
