Al-Buruj
( 1 )
By the sky containing great stars
( 2 )
And [by] the promised Day
( 3 )
And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,
( 4 )
Cursed were the companions of the trench
( 5 )
[Containing] the fire full of fuel,
( 6 )
When they were sitting near it
( 7 )
And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses.
( 8 )
And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted
in Might, the Praiseworthy,
( 9 )
To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all
things, is Witness.
( 10 )
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.
( 11 )
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have
gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment.
( 12 )
Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe.
( 13 )
Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats.
( 14 )
And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,
( 15 )
Honorable Owner of the Throne,
( 16 )
Effecter of what He intends.
( 17 )
Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -
( 18 )
[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?
( 19 )
But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,
( 20 )
While Allah encompasses them from behind.
( 21 )
But this is an honored Qur'an
( 22 )
[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.
( 1 )
By the sky and the night comer -
( 2 )
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
( 3 )
It is the piercing star -
( 4 )
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
( 5 )
So let man observe from what he was created.
( 6 )
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
( 7 )
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
( 8 )
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
( 9 )
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
( 10 )
Then man will have no power or any helper.
( 11 )
By the sky which returns [rain]
( 12 )
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
( 13 )
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
( 14 )
And it is not amusement.
( 15 )
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
( 16 )
But I am planning a plan.
( 17 )
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
( 1 )
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
( 2 )
Who created and proportioned
( 3 )
And who destined and [then] guided
( 4 )
And who brings out the pasture
( 5 )
And [then] makes it black stubble.
( 6 )
We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
( 7 )
Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is
hidden.
( 8 )
And We will ease you toward ease.
( 9 )
So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
( 10 )
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
( 11 )
But the wretched one will avoid it -
( 12 )
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
( 13 )
Neither dying therein nor living.
( 14 )
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
( 15 )
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
( 16 )
But you prefer the worldly life,
( 17 )
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
( 18 )
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
( 19 )
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
Al-Gashiya
( 1 )
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?
( 2 )
[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,
( 3 )
Working [hard] and exhausted.
( 4 )
They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.
( 5 )
They will be given drink from a boiling spring.
( 6 )
For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant
( 7 )
Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.
( 8 )
[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.
( 9 )
With their effort [they are] satisfied
( 10 )
In an elevated garden,
( 11 )
Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.
( 12 )
Within it is a flowing spring.
( 13 )
Within it are couches raised high
( 14 )
And cups put in place
( 15 )
And cushions lined up
( 16 )
And carpets spread around.
( 17 )
Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?
( 18 )
And at the sky - how it is raised?
( 19 )
And at the mountains - how they are erected?
( 20 )
And at the earth - how it is spread out?
( 21 )
So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
( 22 )
You are not over them a controller.
( 23 )
However, he who turns away and disbelieves -
( 24 )
Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.
( 25 )
Indeed, to Us is their return.
( 26 )
Then indeed, upon Us is their account.
