Sorah Al-Burooj ( The Big Stars ) - Verses Number 22

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ ( 1 )

By the sky containing great stars

وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ ( 2 )

And [by] the promised Day

وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ ( 3 )

And [by] the witness and what is witnessed,

قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ ( 4 )

Cursed were the companions of the trench

النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ ( 5 )

[Containing] the fire full of fuel,

إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ ( 6 )

When they were sitting near it

وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ ( 7 )

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

وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ ( 8 )

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

الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ ( 9 )

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

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ ( 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 الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ ( 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 لَشَدِيدٌ ( 12 )

Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe.

إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ ( 13 )

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

وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ ( 14 )

And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate,

ذُو الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدُ ( 15 )

Honorable Owner of the Throne,

فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ ( 16 )

Effecter of what He intends.

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْجُنُودِ ( 17 )

Has there reached you the story of the soldiers -

فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ ( 18 )

[Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud?

بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي تَكْذِيبٍ ( 19 )

But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial,

وَاللَّهُ مِن وَرَائِهِم مُّحِيطٌ ( 20 )

While Allah encompasses them from behind.

بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَّجِيدٌ ( 21 )

But this is an honored Qur'an

فِي لَوْحٍ مَّحْفُوظٍ ( 22 )

[Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate.

The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-WahhaabThe Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab: This book is not one with a political agenda. It is meant neither to support nor to critique any contemporary regimes or policies. Indeed, the driving force behind this work is much greater and more important than that. It has to do with, first, the religion of Islam as preached by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself and, second, with the honor and rights of an individual Muslim, Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab.
