85. Surah Al-Buruj (البروج), the 85th chapter of the Qur'an, is a powerful Makkan Surah composed of 22 verses. Its title translates directly to "The Constellations", "The Great Stars", or "The Cosmic Fortresses". Revealed during a period of crisis, this Surah acts as a divine intervention to console a heavily persecuted community. It is universally recognized for containing one of the most gripping historical narratives in Islamic literature—the tragedy of the "People of the Ditch"—framing worldly defeat as an ultimate spiritual victory and delivering a severe warning to tyrants across time.
