In the name of God,

85:1 | By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; |
85:2 | By the promised Day (of Judgment); |
85:3 | By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;- |
85:4 | Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), |
85:5 | Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: |
85:6 | Behold! they sat over against the (fire), |
85:7 | And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers. |
85:8 | And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in God, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!- |
85:9 | Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And God is Witness to all things. |
85:10 | 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. |
85:11 | 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), |
85:12 | Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. |
85:13 | It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life). |
85:14 | And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness, |
85:15 | Lord of the Throne of Glory, |
85:16 | Doer (without let) of all that He intends. |
85:17 | Has the story reached thee, of the forces- |
85:18 | Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? |
85:19 | And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)! |
85:20 | But God doth encompass them from behind! |
85:21 | Day, this is a Glorious Qur'an, |
85:22 | (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! |
