Sura: AL‑BURŪJ 

Aya : 4

قُتِلَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأُخۡدُودِ

Destroyed [i.e., cursed] were the companions of the trench[1]


1- Or "May they be destroyed" or "cursed." The "companions of the trench" (or ditch) were agents of a tyrannical king who refused to allow his people to believe in AllŒh. Their evil deed in obedience to their ruler earned for them the curse of AllŒh (subúŒnahu wa taÔŒlŒ).


Sura: AL‑BURŪJ 

Aya : 5

ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلۡوَقُودِ

When they were sitting near it.



Sura: AL‑BURŪJ 

Aya : 7

وَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفۡعَلُونَ بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ شُهُودٞ

And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. [1]


1- After casting the believers into a trench filled with fire, they sat at its edge, watching them burn to death. This event occurred before the time of Prophet Muúammad ().


Sura: AL‑BURŪJ 

Aya : 8

وَمَا نَقَمُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤۡمِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ

And they resented them not except because they believed in AllŒh, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy,



Sura: AL‑BURŪJ 

Aya : 9

ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ

To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And AllŒh, over all things, is Witness.[1]

Sura: AL‑BURŪJ

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُواْ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَتُوبُواْ فَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ

Indeed, those who have tortured[1] the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire.


1- Or, in this instance, the literal meaning of "burned" is also appropriate.

Aya : 11

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ جَنَّـٰتٞ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ
