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. |
|

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). |
|
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. |
Nay this is a Glorious Qur'an, |
