1. By the sky,
(displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;
2. By the promised Day (of
Judgment);
3. By one that witnesses, and
the subject of the witness;-
4. Woe to the makers of the pit
(of fire),
5. Fire supplied (abundantly)
with fuel:
6. Behold! they sat over against
the (fire),
7. And they witnessed (all) that
they were doing against the
Believers.
8. And they ill-treated them for
no other reason than that they
believed in Allah, Exalted in
Power, Worthy of all Praise!-
9. Him to Whom belongs the
dominion of the heavens and the
earth! And Allah is Witness to
all things.
10. 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.
11. 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),
12. Truly strong is the Grip
(and Power) of thy Lord.
13. It is He Who creates from
the very beginning, and He can
restore (life).
14. And He is the Oft-Forgiving,
Full of Loving-Kindness,
15. Lord of the Throne of Glory,
16. Doer (without let) of all
that He intends.
17. Has the story reached thee,
of the forces-
18. Of Pharaoh and the Thamud?
19. And yet the Unbelievers
(persist) in rejecting (the
Truth)!
20. But Allah doth encompass
them from behind!
21. Day, this is a Glorious
Qur'an,
22. (Inscribed) in a Tablet
Preserved! |
