The Mansions of the Stars

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ وَٱلسَّمَاۤءِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡبُرُوجِ

By the sky containing great stars

وَٱلۡیَوۡمِ ٱلۡمَوۡعُودِ

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدࣲ وَمَشۡهُودࣲ

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

قُتِلَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡأُخۡدُودِ

Cursed were the companions of the trench

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡوَقُودِ

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,

إِذۡ هُمۡ عَلَیۡهَا قُعُودࣱ

When they were sitting near it

وَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا یَفۡعَلُونَ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ شُهُودࣱ

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

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنۡهُمۡ إِلَّاۤ أَن یُؤۡمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلۡحَمِیدِ

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

ٱلَّذِی لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَیۡءࣲ شَهِیدٌ

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

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمۡ یَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ ٱلۡحَرِیقِ

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 ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمۡ جَنَّـٰتࣱ تَجۡرِی مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُۚ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡكَبِیرُ

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

إِنَّ بَطۡشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِیدٌ

Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ یُبۡدِئُ وَیُعِیدُ

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

وَهُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلۡوَدُودُ

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

ذُو ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡمَجِیدُ

Honorable Owner of the Throne,

فَعَّالࣱ لِّمَا یُرِیدُ

Effecter of what He intends.

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِیثُ ٱلۡجُنُودِ

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَثَمُودَ

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِی تَكۡذِیبࣲ

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَاۤىِٕهِم مُّحِیطُۢ

While Allah encompasses them from behind.

بَلۡ هُوَ قُرۡءَانࣱ مَّجِیدࣱ

But this is an honored Qur'an

فِی لَوۡحࣲ مَّحۡفُوظِۭ

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.
