Holy Quran Verses from Yusufali's Translation

Surah Buruuj: The Mansions of the Stars

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

085.001	By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;
085.002	By the promised Day (of Judgment);
085.003	By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;-
085.004	Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),
085.005	Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:
085.006	Behold! they sat over against the (fire),
085.007	And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.
085.008	And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in God, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-
085.009	Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And God is Witness to all things.
085.010	Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire.
085.011	For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires),
085.012	Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord.
085.013	It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life).
085.014	And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness,
085.015	Lord of the Throne of Glory,
085.016	Doer (without let) of all that He intends.
085.017	Has the story reached thee, of the forces-
085.018	Of Pharaoh and the Thamud?
085.019	And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)!
085.020	But God doth encompass them from behind!
085.021	Day, this is a Glorious Qur'an,
085.022	(Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!

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.
