Al-Buruj memorializes the people of the ditch — believers burned alive for nothing except that they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy — while their persecutors sat watching. It promises that those who persecute believers without repenting face the punishment of the Blaze, and that your Lord's grip is severe.
Al-Buruj (البروج) means "The Great Stars" in English. It is chapter 85 of the Holy Quran.
Surah Al-Buruj has 22 verses (ayat). It appears on page 590 of the mushaf.
Surah Al-Buruj is a Makki surah, revealed in Makkah before the Prophet's ﷺ migration to Madinah.
