Surah “The Mansions of the Stars, The Constellations”

as rendered by Muhammad Taqi Usmani — 22 verses

I swear by the sky, the one having stellar formations
and by the Promised Day
and by that which attends, and that which is attended
cursed were the People of the Trench
the (people of the) fire that was rich with fuel
when they were sitting by it
and were watching what they were doing with the believers
They punished them for nothing but that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the Worthy of All Praise
the One to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is witness over every thing
Surely, those who persecuted the believing men and the believing women, then did not repent, __for them there is the torment of Jahannam (Hell), and for them there is the torment of burning
As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, for them there are gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the big achievement
The seizure of your Lord is severe indeed
Surely He originates (creation) and repeats (it after death)
And He is the Most-Forgiving, the Most-Loving
the Master of the Throne, the Glorious
He is ever doer of what He intends
Has there come to you the story of the forces
of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) and Thamud
But those who disbelieve are (engaged) in denying (the truth)
Allah has encompassed them from all sides
The reality is that it is the glorious Qur‘an
(recorded) in the Preserved Tablet (LauH MaHfuZ)
