The Mansions of the Stars, The Constellations — Muhammad Asad Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Stars

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ

CONSIDER the sky full of great constellations

Waalssama-i thati alburooji

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ

and [then bethink thyself of] the promised Day

Waalyawmi almawAAoodi

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ

and [of] Him who witnesses [all], and [of] that unto which witness is borne [by Him]

Washahidin wamashhoodin

قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ

THEY DESTROY [but] themselves, they who would ready a pi

Qutila as-habu alukhdoodi

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ

of fire fiercely burning [for all who have attained to faith]

Alnnari thati alwaqoodi

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ

Lo! [With glee do] they contemplate that [fire]

Ith hum AAalayha quAAoodun

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ

fully conscious of what they are doing to the believers

Wahum AAala ma yafAAaloona bialmu/mineena shuhoodun

وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ

whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in God, the Almighty, the One to whom all praise is due

Wama naqamoo minhum illa an yu/minoo biAllahi alAAazeezi alhameedi

الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

[and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything

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

Verily, as for those who persecute believing men and believing women, and thereafter do not repent, hell's suffering awaits them: yea, suffering through fire awaits them

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,] verily, they who attain to faith and do righteous deeds shall [in the life to come] have gardens through which running waters flow - that triumph most great

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

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ

VERILY, thy Sustainer's grip is exceedingly strong

Inna batsha rabbika lashadeedun

إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

Behold, it is He who creates [man] in the first instance, and He [it is who] will bring him forth anew

Innahu huwa yubdi-o wayuAAeedu

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ

And He alone is truly-forgiving, all-embracing in His love

Wahuwa alghafooru alwadoodu

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ

in sublime almightiness enthroned

Thoo alAAarshi almajeedi

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

a sovereign doer of whatever He wills

FaAAAAalun lima yureedu

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ

HAS IT ever come within thy ken, the story of the [sinful] host

Hal ataka hadeethu aljunoodi

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

of Pharaoh, and of [the tribe of] Thamud

FirAAawna wathamooda

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ

And yet, they who are bent on denying the truth persist in giving it the lie

Bali allatheena kafaroo fee taktheebin

وَاللَّهُ مِن وَرَائِهِم مُّحِيطٌ

but all the while God encompasses them [with His knowledge and might] without their being aware of it

WaAllahu min wara-ihim muheetun

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَّجِيدٌ

Nay, but this [divine writ which they reject] is a discourse sublime

Bal huwa qur-anun majeedun

فِي لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍ

upon an imperishable tablet [inscribed]

Fee lawhin mahfoothin
