وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ

By the heavens full of great constellations,

Waalssama-i thati alburooji

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ

by the promised Day,

Waalyawmi almawAAoodi

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ

and by the witness and the witnessed,

Washahidin wamashhoodin

قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ

how terrible were the people of the trench

Qutila as-habu alukhdoodi

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ

[using] fire supplied with fuel,

Alnnari thati alwaqoodi

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ

while they sat around it,

Ith hum AAalayha quAAoodun

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ

to watch what they were doing to the believers.

Wahum AAala ma yafAAaloona bialmu/mineena shuhoodun

وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ

The only reason they punish them was because they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy,

Wama naqamoo minhum illa an yu/minoo biAllahi alAAazeezi alhameedi

الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ

to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God, is Witness over 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 believing men and women, and have not repented afterwards, will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of 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

Indeed, those who believe and do good deeds will have Gardens with rivers flowing through 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 punishment is truly severe.

Inna batsha rabbika lashadeedun

إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ

It is He who begins [Creation] and repeats it.

Innahu huwa yubdi-o wayuAAeedu

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ

He alone is Truly-Forgiving, All-Embracing in His love.

Wahuwa alghafooru alwadoodu

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ

The Glorious Lord of the Throne,

Thoo alAAarshi almajeedi

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ

Doer of whatever He wills.

FaAAAAalun lima yureedu

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ

Has the story of the legions reached you,

Hal ataka hadeethu aljunoodi

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ

[those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?

FirAAawna wathamooda

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ

Yet those who denied the truth are persistent in denial,

Bali allatheena kafaroo fee taktheebin

وَاللَّهُ مِن وَرَائِهِم مُّحِيطٌ

while God will encircle them from behind.

WaAllahu min wara-ihim muheetun

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَّجِيدٌ

This is indeed a Glorious Qur'an

Bal huwa qur-anun majeedun

فِي لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍ

in a Preserved Tablet.
