    English - Chapter 85

    Translation by Dr Munir Munshey

    Verse 1

    (I swear) by the sky, with (all) its constellations

    Verse 2

    (And by) the promised day (of Judgment)

    Verse 3

    And (by) the witness (bearing the evidence), as well as the evidence (itself)

    Verse 4

    Doomed are the people of the ditch

    Verse 5

    (The ditch) full of fire and abundant fuel

    Verse 6

    Remember, when the unbelievers sat by the fire

    Verse 7

    And were themselves witness to what they did to the believers

    Verse 8

    They were hostile (and rancorous), just because the believers believed in Allah, the most Powerful and the most Praiseworthy

    Verse 9

    To Whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. Allah is the Witness to every single thing

    Verse 10

    Indeed, those who persecuted the believing men and women and then failed to repent, would (certainly) face the torture of hell. For them, is the punishment of the blazing fire

    Verse 11

    While the (blissful) paradise _ rivers run right through it _ is for those who believe and do righteous deeds. That is the greatest triumph

    Verse 12

    Your Lord´s punishment is very severe, indeed

    Verse 13

    It is He Who created; and He it is, Who will recreate

    Verse 14

    He is the most Forgiving and the most Loving

    Verse 15

    Owner of the majestic throne

    Verse 16

    (The Efficient Achiever)! He does what He pleases

    Verse 17

    Has the story of the armies reached you

    Verse 18

    (Armies of) the pharaoh and the (people of) ´Samood´

    Verse 19

    The unbelievers, in fact (were and) are (persistent) in their denial

    Verse 20

    Allah has surrounded them all around

    Verse 21

    This (narrative) is certainly the majestic Qur´an

    Verse 22

    Safely preserved on (the sacred) slates
