بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
wal-samāi dhāti l-burūji
By the sky full of constellations,
wal-yawmi l-mawʿūdi
and the promised Day ˹of Judgment˺,
washāhidin wamashhūdin
and the witness and what is witnessed!
qutila aṣḥābu l-ukh'dūdi
Condemned are the makers of the ditch—
al-nāri dhāti l-waqūdi
the fire ˹pit˺, filled with fuel—
idh hum ʿalayhā quʿūdun
when they sat around it,
wahum ʿalā mā yafʿalūna bil-mu'minīna shuhūdun
watching what they had ˹ordered to be˺ done to the believers,
wamā naqamū min'hum illā an yu'minū bil-lahi l-ʿazīzi l-ḥamīdi
who they resented for no reason other than belief in Allah—the Almighty, the Praiseworthy—
alladhī lahu mul'ku l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wal-lahu ʿalā kulli shayin shahīdun
˹the One˺ to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is a Witness over all things.
inna alladhīna fatanū l-mu'minīna wal-mu'mināti thumma lam yatūbū falahum ʿadhābu jahannama walahum ʿadhābu l-ḥarīqi
Those who persecute the believing men and women and then do not repent will certainly suffer the punishment of Hell and the torment of burning.
inna alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti lahum jannātun tajrī min taḥtihā l-anhāru dhālika l-fawzu l-kabīru
Surely those who believe and do good will have Gardens under which rivers flow. That is the greatest triumph.
inna baṭsha rabbika lashadīdun
Indeed, the ˹crushing˺ grip of your Lord is severe.
innahu huwa yub'di-u wayuʿīdu
˹For˺ He is certainly the One Who originates and resurrects ˹all˺.
wahuwa l-ghafūru l-wadūdu
And He is the All-Forgiving, All-Loving—
dhū l-ʿarshi l-majīdu
Lord of the Throne, the All-Glorious,
faʿʿālun limā yurīdu
Doer of whatever He wills.
hal atāka ḥadīthu l-junūdi
Has the story of the ˹destroyed˺ forces reached you ˹O Prophet˺—
fir'ʿawna wathamūda
˹the forces of˺ Pharaoh and Thamûd?
bali alladhīna kafarū fī takdhībin
Yet the disbelievers ˹still˺ persist in denial.
wal-lahu min warāihim muḥīṭun
But Allah encompasses them from all sides.
bal huwa qur'ānun majīdun
In fact, this is a glorious Quran,
fī lawḥin maḥfūẓin
˹recorded˺ in a Preserved Tablet.
