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
