Surah “The Mansions of the Stars, The Constellations”

as rendered by Zulfiquar Ali Bhotto — 22 verses

\ By the sky having great stars
\ By the promised Day
\ By a witness and what is witnessed,
\ Killed [cursed] were the companions of the trench
\ By the fire, full of fuel,
\ They sat against it
\ And they were upon what they did with the believers, witnesses.
\ And they were not resenting of their being except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the Praiseworthy,
\ To whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is over every thing, a Witness.
\ Indeed, those who tested the believing men and believing women [to renounce their faith] and then do not repent; so, for them is the punishment of Hell, and for them is the punishment of the Burning Fire [e.g., Qur'an 85:8].
\ Indeed, those who have believed and worked the righteous deeds; for them are paradises flowing from beneath which are the rivers. That is the supreme triumph.
\ Indeed, the grip of your Lord is truly strong.
\ Indeed He, He originates [creation] and repeats.
\ And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,
\ Owner of the Throne, the Majestic
\ Doer for whatever He wants.
\ Has there come to you the narration of the soldiers?
\ Pharaoh and Thamud.
\ No but is there [it came]. They who disbelieve are in perpetual lie,
\ And Allah from behind them, encompassing [them].
\ No but is there [Qur'an 85:20]. It is a majestic Qur'an
\ In a preserved Tablet.
