By the heaven adorned with signs
by the promised day of judgment
by the witness, and the witnessed
cursed were the contrivers of the pit
of fire supplied with fuel
when they sat round the same
and were witnesses of what they did against the true believers
And they afflicted them for no other reason, but because they believed in the mighty, the glorious God
unto whom belongeth the kingdom of heaven and earth: And God is witness of all things
Verily for those who persecute the true believers of either sex, and afterwards repent not, is prepared the torment of hell; and they shall suffer the pain of burning
But for those who believe, and do that which is right, are destined gardens beneath which rivers flow: This shall be great felicity
Verily the vengeance of thy Lord is severe
He createth, and He restoreth to life
He is inclined to forgive, and gracious
The possessor of the glorious throne
who effecteth that which He pleaseth
Hath not the story of the hosts
of Pharaoh, and of Thamud, reached thee
Yet the unbelievers cease not to accuse the divine revelations of falsehood
But God encompasseth them behind, that they cannot escape
Verily that which they reject is a glorious Koran
the original whereof is written in a table kept in heaven
