By the sky, with its constellations of stars
And by the Day [of Judgment] promised
And witness [giving evidence in favour of or against anything on the Judgment Day] and those for or against whom the witness is giving evidence
Damned are the owners of the dit
Of the fuel-filled fire
When they sat by i
And witnessed what they did to the believers!
And they took vengeance on them for nothing else but that they believed in Allah, the Omnipotent, the Embodiment of Praise
To Whom belongs the Absolute Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Witness to all things
Surely indeed, those who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not — for them will be the punishment of Hell, and for them the punishment by the Fire
Surely indeed, those who believe and do good deeds — for them will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Greatest Success
Indeed, the Hold of your Lord is certainly severe
It is He indeed Who does the original creation, and Who is capable of resurrecting His original creation when it is dead
And He is the One Forgiving, Loving
Lord of the Glorious Throne
HE does what He wills
Have you come to know the story of the armies
Of Pharaoh and of (the ancient tribe of) Thamood
Yet, [despite knowing the story of how those ancient peoples were destroyed for their transgressions] those that suppress the Truth live in denial
And Allah surrounds them unawares
Nay, [non-believers' denial notwithstanding,] this is a glorious Qur'an
