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