وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الۡبُرُوۡجِۙ‏

By the sky containing great stars

وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡمَوۡعُوۡدِۙ‏

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدٍ وَّمَشۡهُوۡدٍؕ‏

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed

قُتِلَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡاُخۡدُوۡدِۙ‏

Cursed were the companions of the trench

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الۡوَقُوۡدِۙ‏

[Containing] the fire full of fuel

اِذۡ هُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا قُعُوۡدٌۙ‏

When they were sitting near it

وَّهُمۡ عَلٰي مَا يَفۡعَلُوۡنَ بِالۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ شُهُوۡدٌؕ‏

And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses

وَمَا نَقَمُوۡا مِنۡهُمۡ اِلَّا٘ اَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡحَمِيۡدِۙ‏

And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy

الَّذِيۡ لَهٗ مُلۡكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ شَهِيۡدٌؕ‏

To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ فَتَنُوا الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ وَالۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَتُوۡبُوۡا فَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ الۡحَرِيۡقِؕ‏

Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمۡ جَنّٰتٌ تَجۡرِيۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُؕ ذٰلِكَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡكَبِيۡرُؕ‏

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment

اِنَّ بَطۡشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيۡدٌؕ‏

Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe

اِنَّهٗ هُوَ يُبۡدِئُ وَيُعِيۡدُۚ‏

Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats

وَهُوَ الۡغَفُوۡرُ الۡوَدُوۡدُۙ‏

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate

ذُو الۡعَرۡشِ الۡمَجِيۡدُۙ‏

Honorable Owner of the Throne

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيۡدُؕ‏

Effecter of what He intends

هَلۡ اَتٰىكَ حَدِيۡثُ الۡجُنُوۡدِۙ‏

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers

فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَثَمُوۡدَؕ‏

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud

بَلِ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا فِيۡ تَكۡذِيۡبٍۙ‏

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial

وَّاللّٰهُ مِنۡ وَّرَآئِهِمۡ مُّحِيۡطٌۚ‏

While Allah encompasses them from behind

بَلۡ هُوَ قُرۡاٰنٌ مَّجِيۡدٌۙ‏

But this is an honored Qur'an

فِيۡ لَوۡحٍ مَّحۡفُوۡظٍࣖ‏

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate
