By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, |
|
| 2 |
And by the Promised Day. |
|
| 3 |
And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, |
|
| 4 |
(Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch |
|
| 5 |
Of the fuel-fed fire, |
|
| 6 |
When they sat by it, |
|
| 7 |
And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers. |
|
| 8 |
They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, |
|
| 9 |
Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness. |
|
| 10 |
Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning. |
|
| 11 |
Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success. |
|
| 12 |
Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. |
|
| 13 |
Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth, |
|
| 14 |
And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, |
|
| 15 |
Lord of the Throne of Glory, |
|
| 16 |
Doer of what He will. |
|
| 17 |
Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts |
|
| 18 |
Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud ? |
|
| 19 |
Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial |
|
| 20 |
And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. |
|
| 21 |
Nay, but it is a glorious Qur’an. |
|
| 22 |
On a guarded tablet. |
