The Mansions of the Stars, The Constellations — Aisha Bewley Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Stars

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ

By Heaven with its Houses of the Zodiac,

Waalssama-i thati alburooji

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ

and the Promised Day,

Waalyawmi almawAAoodi

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ

and the witness and the witnessed,

Washahidin wamashhoodin

قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ

cursed be the Companions of the Pit —

Qutila as-habu alukhdoodi

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ

the fire well stocked with fuel —

Alnnari thati alwaqoodi

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ

when they were seated right beside it

Ith hum AAalayha quAAoodun

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ

witnessing what they did to the muminun.

Wahum AAala ma yafAAaloona bialmu/mineena shuhoodun

وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ

The only reason they punished them was because they had iman in Allah, the Almighty, the All-Praiseworthy —

Wama naqamoo minhum illa an yu/minoo biAllahi alAAazeezi alhameedi

الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

Him to whom the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs. Allah is Witness of all things.

Allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waal-ardi waAllahu AAala kulli shay-in shaheedun

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ

Those who persecute men and women of the muminun, and then do not make tawba, will have the punishment of Hell, will have the punishment of the Burning.

Inna allatheena fatanoo almu/mineena waalmu/minati thumma lam yatooboo falahum AAathabu jahannama walahum AAathabu alhareeqi

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ

But those who have iman and do right actions will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. That is the Great Victory.

Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum jannatun tajree min tahtiha al-anharu thalika alfawzu alkabeeru

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ

Your Lord´s Assault is very fierce indeed.

Inna batsha rabbika lashadeedun

إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

He originates and regenerates.

Innahu huwa yubdi-o wayuAAeedu

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ

He is the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Loving,

Wahuwa alghafooru alwadoodu

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ

the Possessor of the Throne, the All-Glorious,

Thoo alAAarshi almajeedi

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

the Doer of whatever He desires.

FaAAAAalun lima yureedu

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ

Has the story reached you of the legions

Hal ataka hadeethu aljunoodi

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

of Pharaoh and Thamud?

FirAAawna wathamooda

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ

Yet those who are kafir insist on their denial

Bali allatheena kafaroo fee taktheebin

وَاللَّهُ مِن وَرَائِهِم مُّحِيطٌ

while Allah is encircling them from behind.

WaAllahu min wara-ihim muheetun

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَّجِيدٌ

It is indeed a Glorious Qur´an

Bal huwa qur-anun majeedun

فِي لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍ

preserved on a Tablet.

Fee lawhin mahfoothin
