Surah “The Mansions of the Stars, The Constellations”

as rendered by M. Farook Malik — 22 verses

By the heaven and its constellations
By the promised Day of Judgment
By the witnesses and that which is being witnessed
Doomed be the makers of the ditch
who lit the fuel-fed fir
and sat around it
to watch what they were doing to the believers
They tortured them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the Praise Worthy
the One to Whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth, and Allah is Witness to all things
Those who persecute the believing men and believing women and do not repent, shall receive the punishment of hell, wherein they shall have the punishment of conflagration
As for those who believe and do good deeds, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow; which will be the greatest success
Surely, the seizure of your Lord is very severe
Surely, He it is Who originates the creation of everything, and He it is Who will repeat it on the Day of Resurrection
He is the Forgiving, the Loving
the Owner of the Throne, the Gloriou
and the executor of His own will
Have you not heard the story of the warrior
of Pharaoh and of Thamud
Yet the unbelievers persist in denying the truth
although Allah has encircled them from all around
Surely this is a Glorious Qur’an
inscribed on an Imperishable Tablet
