{بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ}

(1) By the sky containing great stars

{وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ}

(2) And [by] the promised Day

{وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ}

(3) And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

{قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ}

(4) Destroyed [i.e., cursed] were the companions of the trench[1895]

{النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ}

(5) [Containing] the fire full of fuel,

{إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ}

(6) When they were sitting near it.

{وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ}

(7) And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. [1896]

{وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ}

(8) And they resented them not except because they believed in Allāh, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy,

{الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ}

(9) To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh, over all things, is Witness.[1897]

{إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ}

(10) Indeed, those who have tortured[1898] 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.

{إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ}

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

{إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ}

(12) Indeed, the assault [i.e., vengeance] of your Lord is severe.

{إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ}

(13) Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats.

{وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ}

(14) And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

{ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ}

(15) Honorable Owner of the Throne,

{فَعَّالٌ لِمَا يُرِيدُ}

(16) Effecter of what He intends.

{هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ}

(17) Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

{فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ}

(18) [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamūd?

{بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ}

(19) But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

{وَاللَّهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ مُحِيطٌ}

(20) While Allāh encompasses them from behind.[1899]

{بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَجِيدٌ}

(21) But this is an honored Qur’ān

{فِي لَوْحٍ مَحْفُوظٍ}

(22) [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.
