Surah “The Mansions of the Stars, The Constellations”

as rendered by Rashad Khalifa — 22 verses

The sky and its galaxies
The promised day
The witness and the witnessed
Woe to the people of the canyon
They ignited a blazing fire
Then sat around it
To watch the burning of the believers
They hated them for no other reason than believing in GOD, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy
To Him belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth. And GOD witnesses all things
Surely, those who persecute the believing men and women, then fail to repent, have incurred the retribution of Gehenna; they have incurred the retribution of burning
Surely, those who believed and led a righteous life, have deserved gardens with flowing streams. This is the greatest triumph
Indeed, your Lord's blow is severe
He is the One who initiates and repeats
And He is the Forgiving, Most Kind
Possessor of the glorious throne
Doer of whatever He wills
Did you note the history of the troops
Pharaoh and Thamoud
Those who disbelieve are plagued with denial
GOD is fully aware of them
Indeed, it is a glorious Quran
In a preserved master tablet
