Al-Buruj

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ

Was-Samaaaʹi ẓaatil BUROOJ;

By the sky containing great stars

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ

Wal-Yawmil Mawʻood;

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ

Wa-Shaahidiñw Wa-Mashhood;

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

قُتِلَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ

Q̣utila ʹaṣḥaabul ʹukhdood,―

Destroyed [i.e., cursed] were the companions of the trench

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ

ʹAnnaari ẓaatil Waq̣ood:

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ

ʹIẓ hum ʻalayhaa q̣uʻood,

When they were sitting near it.

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ

Wa-hum ʻalaa maa- yafʻaloona bilmuʹmineena shuhood.

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

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ

Wa-maa naq̣amoo minhum ʹillaaa ʹañy yuʹminoo billaahil ʻAzeezil Ḥameed,―

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

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

ʹAllaẓee lahoo mulkus samaawaati wal-ʹarḍ: Wallaahu ʻalaa kulli shayʹiñ Shaheed.

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

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ

ʹInnal laẓeena fatanul Muʹmineena wal-muʹminaati s̤umma lam yatooboo falahum ʻaẓaabu Jahannama wa-lahum ʻAẓaabul ḥareeq̣.

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.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ

ʹInnal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaati lahum Jannaatuñ tajree miñ taḥtihal ʹanhaar: ẓaalikal Fawzul kabeer.

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

ʹInna Baṭsha Rabbika lashadeed.

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

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

ʹInna-Hoo Huwa yubdiʹu wa-yuʻeed.

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

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ

Wa-Huwal G̣afoorul Wadood,

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ

Ẓul ʻArshil Majeed.

Honorable Owner of the Throne,

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

Faʻ-ʻaalul limaa yureed.

Effecter of what He intends.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ

Hal ʹataaka ḥadees̤ul Junood―

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

Firʻawna wa-S̤amood?

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamūd?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍ

Balil laẓeena kafaroo fee takẓeeb!

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ

Wallaahu miñw waraaaʹihim Muḥeeṭ!

While Allāh encompasses them from behind.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ

Bal Huwa Q̣urʹaanum Majeed,

But this is an honored Qur’ān

فِى لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ

Fee Lawḥim Maḥfooz̤̣!
