By the sky with its towering constellations.
By the promised Day.
By the witness and the witnessed.
Destroyed were the makers of the trench.
The fire, abundantly fueled.
When they sat beside it.
They were witnesses to what they were doing to the believers.
They resented them only because they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy.
To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over all things.
Those who persecuted the believing men and women, then did not repent, will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of burning.
Those who believe and do good deeds will have gardens with rivers flowing beneath them. That is the great triumph.
Your Lord's grip is fierce.
He is the One who originates and restores.
He is the Forgiving, the Loving.
Lord of the Glorious Throne.
Doer of whatever He wills.
Has the story of the forces reached you?
Pharaoh and Thamud?
Yet those who disbelieve persist in denial.
God surrounds them from all sides.
This is a glorious Quran.
In a Preserved Tablet.
