Surah “The Mansions of the Stars, The Constellations”

as rendered by Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali — 22 verses

And (by) the heaven comprising the constellations
And (by) the promised Day
And (by the) witness and the witnessed
Slain were (i.e., Those who dug a trench, in which they burnt the believers) the companions of the Trench
Of the fire comprising (abounding) fuel
As they were seated over it
And were (themselves) witnesses of what they performed against the believers
And in no way did they seek vengeance on them except that they believed in Allah, The Ever-Mighty, The Ever-Praiseworthy
Who has the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Ever-Present Witness over everything
Surely the ones who tempted the male believers and the female believers, (and) thereafter they have not repented, then they will have the torment of Hell, and they will (also) have the torment of the burning
Surely the ones who have believed and done deeds of righteousness will have Gardens from beneath which rivers run; that is the great triumph
Surely your Lord's assault is strict indeed
Surely He, Ever He, starts and He brings (you) back
And He is The Ever-Forgiving, The Ever-Affectionate
The Owner of the Throne, The Ever-Glorious
The Sublime Performer of whatever He wills
Has the discourse about the hosts come up to you
Firaawn (Pharaoh) and Thamud
No indeed, (but) the ones who have disbelieved are (imputing) lies
And Allah is beyond them Supremely Encompassing
No indeed, (but) it is an Ever-Glorious Qur'an
In a preserved Tablet
