By the sky, with its constellations;
|
|
2. |
By the promised Day (of Judgment);
|
|
3. |
By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;-
|
|
4. |
Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),
|
|
5. |
Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:
|
|
6. |
Behold! they sat over against the (fire),
|
|
7. |
And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.
|
|
8. |
And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-
|
|
9. |
Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things.
|
|
10. |
Those who persecute the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Chastisement of Hell: they will have the Chastisement of the Burning Fire.
|
|

For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: that is the great Triumph,
|
|
12. |
Truly strong is the Grip of thy Lord.
|
|
13. |
It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life).
|
|
14. |
And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness,
|
|
15. |
Lord of the Throne, Full of all Glory,
|
|
16. |
Doer (without let) of all that He intends.
|
|
17. |
Has the story reached thee, of the Forces-
|
|
18. |
Of Pharaoh and the Thamüd?
|
|
19. |
And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)!
|
|
20. |
But Allah doth encompass them from behind!
|
|
21. |
Nay, this is a Glorious Quran,
|

(Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!
