By the heaven full of stars
And the promised day
And the bearer of witness and that to which witness is borne
Destruction overtake the companions of the trench! -
The fire fed with fuel -
When they sit by it
And they are witnesses of what they do with the believers
And they punished them for naught but that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised
Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Witness of all things
Those who persecute believing men and believing women, then repent not, theirs is the chastisement of hell, and theirs the chastisement of burning
Those who believe and do good, theirs are Gardens wherein flow rivers. That is the great achievement
Surely the grip of thy Lord is severe
Surely He it is Who creates first and reproduces
And He is the Forgiving, the Loving
Lord of the Throne of Power, the Glorious
Doer of what He intends
Has not there come to thee the story of the hosts
Of Pharaoh and Thamud
Nay, those who disbelieve give the lie -
And Allah encompasses them on all sides
Nay, it is a glorious Qur’an
In a guarded tablet
