Surah al-Buruj (The Mansions of the Stars, The Constellations) - Faridul Haque Translation

85:1  By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations

85:2  And by oath of the Promised Day

85:3  And by oath of the day that is a witness and by oath of a day in which the people present themselves

85:4  Accursed be the People of the Ditch

85:5  The people of the fuelled blazing fire

85:6  When they were sitting at its edge

85:7  And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims

85:8  And what did they dislike from the Muslims, except that the Muslims accepted faith in Allah the Most Honourable, the Most Praiseworthy

85:9  To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things

85:10  Indeed those who troubled the Muslim men and Muslim women, and then did not repent – for them is the punishment of hell, and for them is the punishment of fire

85:11  Indeed those who believed and did good deeds – for them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow; this is the great success

85:12  Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe

85:13  Indeed it is He Who initiates and redoes

85:14  And He only is the Oft Forgiving, the Beloved of His bondmen

85:15  Master of the Honourable Throne

85:16  Always doing whatever He wills

85:17  Did the story of the armies reach you

85:18  (The armies of) Firaun and the tribe of Thamud

85:19  In fact the disbelievers are in denial

85:20  And Allah is after them, has them surrounded

85:21  In fact it (what they deny) is the Noble Qur’an

85:22  In the Preserved Tablet
