بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ ۝١

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الۡبُرُوۡجِۙ‏ ۝١

85:1 I swear by the sky, the one having stellar formations,

وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ ۝٢

وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡمَوۡعُوۡدِۙ‏ ۝٢

85:2 and by the Promised Day,

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ ۝٣

وَشَاهِدٍ وَّمَشۡهُوۡدٍؕ‏ ۝٣

85:3 and by that which attends, and that which is attended,

قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ ۝٤

قُتِلَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡاُخۡدُوۡدِۙ‏ ۝٤

85:4 cursed were the People of the Trench,

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ ۝٥

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الۡوَقُوۡدِۙ‏ ۝٥

85:5 the (people of the) fire that was rich with fuel,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ ۝٦

اِذۡ هُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا قُعُوۡدٌ ۙ‏ ۝٦

85:6 when they were sitting by it,

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ ۝٧

وَّهُمۡ عَلٰى مَا يَفۡعَلُوۡنَ بِالۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ شُهُوۡدٌ ؕ‏ ۝٧

85:7 and were watching what they were doing with the believers.

وَمَا نَقَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ ۝٨

وَمَا نَقَمُوۡا مِنۡهُمۡ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡحَمِيۡدِۙ‏  ۝٨

85:8 They punished them for nothing but that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the Worthy of All Praise,

ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ۝٩

الَّذِىۡ لَهٗ مُلۡكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ​ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ شَهِيۡدٌ ؕ‏ ۝٩

85:9 the One to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is witness over every thing.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ۝١٠

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ فَتَـنُوا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ وَ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَتُوۡبُوۡا فَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ الۡحَرِيۡقِؕ‏ ۝١٠

85:10 Surely, those who persecuted the believing men and the believing women, then did not repent, -for them there is the torment of Jahannam (Hell), and for them there is the torment of burning.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ۝١١

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمۡ جَنّٰتٌ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ ؕ ذٰلِكَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡكَبِيۡرُؕ‏ ۝١١

85:11 As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, for them there are gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the big achievement.

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ ۝١٢

اِنَّ بَطۡشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيۡدٌ ؕ‏ ۝١٢

85:12 The seizure of your Lord is severe indeed!

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ ۝١٣

اِنَّهٗ هُوَ يُبۡدِئُ وَيُعِيۡدُ​ ۚ‏ ۝١٣

وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ ۝١٤

وَهُوَ الۡغَفُوۡرُ الۡوَدُوۡدُۙ‏ ۝١٤

85:14 And He is the Most-Forgiving, the Most-Loving,

ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ ۝١٥

ذُو الۡعَرۡشِ الۡمَجِيۡدُ ۙ‏ ۝١٥

85:15 the Master of the Throne, the Glorious.

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ۝١٦

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيۡدُ ؕ‏ ۝١٦

85:16 He is ever doer of what He intends.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ۝١٧

هَلۡ اَتٰٮكَ حَدِيۡثُ الۡجُـنُوۡدِۙ‏ ۝١٧

85:17 Has there come to you the story of the forces,

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ ۝١٨

فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَثَمُوۡدَؕ‏ ۝١٨

بَلِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا فِىۡ تَكۡذِيۡبٍۙ‏ ۝١٩

85:19 But those who disbelieve are (engaged) in denying (the truth).

وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ ۝٢٠

وَّاللّٰهُ مِنۡ وَّرَآٮِٕهِمۡ مُّحِيۡطٌۚ‏ ۝٢٠

85:20 Allah has encompassed them from all sides.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌ مَّجِيدٌ ۝٢١

بَلۡ هُوَ قُرۡاٰنٌ مَّجِيۡدٌ ۙ‏ ۝٢١

85:21 The reality is that it is the glorious Qur’ān,

فِى لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ ۝٢٢

فِىۡ لَوۡحٍ مَّحۡفُوۡظٍ‏ ۝٢٢
