Surah Buruuj: The Mansions of the Stars

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

085.001	By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars,
085.002	And by the Promised Day.
085.003	And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony,
085.004	(Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch
085.005	Of the fuel-fed fire,
085.006	When they sat by it,
085.007	And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers.
085.008	They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise,
085.009	Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness.
085.010	Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning.
085.011	Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success.
085.012	Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern.
085.013	Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth,
085.014	And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,
085.015	Lord of the Throne of Glory,
085.016	Doer of what He will.
085.017	Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts
085.018	Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud?
085.019	Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial
085.020	And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them.
085.021	Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an.
085.022	On a guarded tablet.

Let us pray (Sura 20, Ayat 114) 'Ya Rabbi Zidni Ilma!' ('O Lord! Increase me in knowledge.') and seek spiritual help (ta'yid) to understand our great faith.
