THE CONSTELLATIONS

The Quran Chapter 85
THE CONSTELLATIONS

In the name of ALLAH,
the Beneficient, the Merciful


By the heaven with its constellations
By the promised day
By the witness and that which is witnessed
Slain be the men of the Pit


The fire abounding in fuel
When they sat around it
Watching what they did to the believers


They took vengeance on them for no reason
except that because they believed in ALLAH
The Almighty, the Praised One
The Sovereign of the heavens and the earth
Who witnesses everything


Those who persecute the believers
men and women and do not repent
Shall suffer the chatisement of hell,
the chatisement of burning



But those who believe and do righteous deeds
Shall have gardens with flowing rivers
That is the great success


Stern indeed is your Lord’s vengeance
HE is surely the ONE who originates
HIS creation and re-creates them


HE is All-forgiving, Compassionate,
Lord of the Throne, the Glorious,
Performer of what HE wills

Have you heard the story of the warriors
Of Pharoah and Thamud


Yet the disbelievers persists in their denials
But ALLAH surround them all


This is indeed a glorious Quran
Insribed on a well-guarded tablet.
