Meaning: The Constellations
Total Ayahs: 22
Place of Revelation: Mecca
Surah Al-Buruj swears by the sky full of constellations and the promised Day. It recounts the story of the People of the Ditch—believers burnt alive for their faith—highlighting that earthly tyranny will not go unpunished. The Quran is affirmed as preserved and invulnerable. The Surah reassures steadfast believers and warns oppressors of their looming doom.
Divine justice encompasses both seen tyranny and unseen cruelty. Strong cosmic and historical signs affirm that every soul will face recompense—believers will be vindicated.
Reciting it strengthens resolve in the face of persecution, reassures that oppression is not ignored, nurtures patience, and fosters conviction that divine justice never fails.
85:1–7 – Oaths and the story of the ditch; 85:21–22 – Quran on the Preserved Tablet.
Stand firm for truth even under oppression—divine judgment is certain and victorious over injustice.
