-
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;
-
By the promised Day (of Judgment);
-
By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;-
-
Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),
-
Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:
-
Behold! they sat over against the (fire),
-
And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.
-
And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-
-
Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things.
-
Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire.
-
For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires),
-
Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord.
-
It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life).
-
And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness,
-
Lord of the Throne of Glory,
-
Doer (without let) of all that He intends.
-
Has the story reached thee, of the forces-
-
Of Pharaoh and the Thamud?
-
And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)!
-
But Allah doth encompass them from behind!
-
Day, this is a Glorious Qur´an,
-
(Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!
