Consider the promised day.
Consider the witness and the subject of the witness.
Cursed are the makers of the pit.
[It is] fire fed by fuel [for torturing and murdering the believers].
They took seats [near the fire].
[As spectators,] they watched what they were doing to the believers.
They tortured them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, the Victorious, the Praised One.
He owns the dominion of Heaven and Earth. Allah witnesses everything.
As for those who persecute the believers –men and women— and do not repent, they will incur the penalty of Hell. They will incur the penalty of the burning fire.
As for those who believe and perform righteous deeds, they will live in gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great salvation!
The vengeance of your Lord is truly strong.
He creates from the very beginning and He can recreate.
He is the Most Forgiving, Full of Loving Kindness.
[He is] Owner of the Throne of Glory.
[He is] Performer of All His Intentions.
Have you heard the story of the forces…
…of Pharaoh and [the story of] the Thamud?
Yet the unbelievers are in denial.
Allah surrounds them from behind.
Certainly! This is a glorious Qur’an!
[It is] in a secured text.
