85 The Constellations -Al-Burooj

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful

[85.1] By the heaven of the constellations!

[85.2] By the Promised Day!

[85.3] By the witness and the witnessed!

[85.4] The companions of the pit were killed

[85.5] the fire with its fuel,

[85.6] when they were seated around it

[85.7] and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers

[85.8] and their revenge on them was only because they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praised,

[85.9] to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is the Witness of all things.

[85.10] Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them the punishment of the burning.

[85.11] (But) for those who believe and do good works, for them there are Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is the Great Victory!

[85.12] Indeed, the seizing of your Lord is severe.

[85.13] It is He who originates and repeats.

[85.14] And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving.

[85.15] Owner of the Throne, the Exalted.

[85.16] The Doer of whatever He wants.

[85.17] Has it come to you the story of the hosts

[85.18] of Pharaoh and of Thamood?

[85.19] Yet the unbelievers still belie,

[85.20] Allah encompasses them all from behind.

[85.21] Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran,

[85.22] in a Guarded Tablet.
