Al-Buruj البروج
The companions of the trench أصحاب الأخدود
Summary and links in the frieze
In the frieze Believers are persecuted for their faith alone; God witnesses it, and punishment awaits those who do not repent.
Read just before, 86 leads here: After "the sky which returns" (86:11), the next one also swears by the sky: "By the sky containing constellations!" (85:1). 86
It leads to 84: Those who have disowned (85:19) return in the next one: the Recitation is read to them, and they do not prostrate (84:21-22). 84
Closes on “They ask one another”
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. By the sky containing constellations! And by the promised Day! And by a witness and what is witnessed! May the companions of the trench perish, of the fire richly fueled, when they sat around it, and were witnesses to what they were doing to the believers.
ٮسم الله الرحمں الرحٮم والسما داٮ الٮروح والٮوم الموعود وساهد ومسهود ڡٮل اصحٮ الاحدود الٮار داٮ الوڡود اد هم علٮها ڡعود وهم على ما ٮڡعلوں ٮالمومٮٮں سهود
And they resented them for nothing except that they believed in God, the All-Powerful, the Praiseworthy, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth.
وما ٮڡموا مٮهم الا اں ٮومٮوا ٮالله العرٮر الحمٮد الدى له ملك السموٮ والارص
And God is witness over all things.
والله على كل سى سهٮد
Indeed, those who put to trial the believing men and believing women and then did not repent will have the punishment of Jahannam, and they will have the punishment of the burning fire.
اں الدٮں ڡٮٮوا المومٮٮں والمومٮٮ ٮم لم ٮٮوٮوا ڡلهم عداٮ حهٮم ولهم عداٮ الحرٮٯ
Indeed, those who have believed and done sound deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow.
اں الدٮں امٮوا وعملوا الصلحٮ لهم حٮٮ ٮحرى مں ٮحٮها الاٮهر
That is the great triumph.
دلك الڡور الكٮٮر
Surely, the strike of your Guardian is severe.
اں ٮطس رٮك لسدٮد
Indeed, it is He who begins and remakes.
اٮه هو ٮٮدى وٮعٮد
And He is the Most-Forgiving, the Loving, Holder of the Edifice,
وهو العڡور الودود دو العرس
the Glorious, ever doing what He wants.
المحٮد ڡعال لما ٮرٮد
Has the discourse concerning the armies, of Fir'awn and the Thamud, reached you?
هل اٮٮك حدٮٮ الحٮود ڡرعوں وٮمود
Rather, those who have disowned persist in denial, and God encompasses them from behind.
ٮل الدٮں كڡروا ڡى ٮكدٮٮ والله مں وراٮهم محٮط
Rather, it is a glorious Recitation, upon a Preserved Tablet.
ٮل هو ڡراں محٮد ڡى لوح محڡوط
