Surah Al-Buruj in the Qaloun Recitation

وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ اِ۬لْبُرُوجِ﴿1﴾

By the sky containing great stars

وَالْيَوْمِ اِ۬لْمَوْعُودِ﴿2﴾

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدٖ وَمَشْهُودٖ﴿3﴾

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ اُ۬لْأُخْدُودِ﴿4﴾

Destroyed [i.e., cursed] were the companions of the trench

اِ۬لنَّارِ ذَاتِ اِ۬لْوَقُودِ﴿5﴾

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٞ﴿6﴾

When they were sitting near it.

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٞۖ﴿7﴾

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

وَمَا نَقَمُواْ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يُّؤْمِنُواْ بِاللَّهِ اِ۬لْعَزِيزِ اِ۬لْحَمِيدِ﴿8﴾

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

اِ۬لذِے لَهُۥ مُلْكُ اُ۬لسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِۖ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَےْءٖ شَهِيدٌۖ﴿9﴾

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

إِنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ فَتَنُواْ اُ۬لْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُواْ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ اُ۬لْحَرِيقِۖ﴿10﴾

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.

إِنَّ اَ۬لذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ اُ۬لصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٞ تَجْرِے مِن تَحْتِهَا اَ۬لْأَنْهَٰرُۖ ذَٰلِكَ اَ۬لْفَوْزُ اُ۬لْكَبِيرُۖ﴿11﴾

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

۞ إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌۖ﴿12﴾

Indeed, the assault [i.e., vengeance] of your Lord is severe.

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِۓُ وَيُعِيدُۖ﴿13﴾

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

وَهْوَ اَ۬لْغَفُورُ اُ۬لْوَدُودُ﴿14﴾

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

ذُو اُ۬لْعَرْشِۖ اِ۬لْمَجِيدُ﴿15﴾

Honorable Owner of the Throne,

فَعَّالٞ لِّمَا يُرِيدُۖ﴿16﴾

Effecter of what He intends.

هَلْ أَتَيٰكَ حَدِيثُ اُ۬لْجُنُودِ﴿17﴾

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَۖ﴿18﴾

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamūd?

بَلِ اِ۬لذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِے تَكْذِيبٖ﴿19﴾

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

وَاللَّهُ مِنْ وَّرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطُۢۖ﴿20﴾

While Allāh encompasses them from behind.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٞ مَّجِيدٞ﴿21﴾

But this is an honored Qur’ān

فِے لَوْحٖ مَّحْفُوظُۢۖ﴿22﴾

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.
