| 085.000 The Mansions of the Stars
|
| 085.001 |
By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, |
| 085.002 |
And by the Promised Day. |
| 085.003 |
And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, |
| 085.004 |
(Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch |
| 085.005 |
Of the fuel-fed fire, |
| 085.006 |
When they sat by it, |
| 085.007 |
And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers. |
| 085.008 |
They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, |
| 085.009 |
Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness. |
| 085.010 |
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. |
| 085.011 |
Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success. |
| 085.012 |
Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. |
| 085.013 |
Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth, |
| 085.014 |
And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, |
| 085.015 |
Lord of the Throne of Glory, |
| 085.016 |
Doer of what He will. |
| 085.017 |
Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts |
| 085.018 |
Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud ? |
| 085.019 |
Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial |
| 085.020 |
And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. |
| 085.021 |
Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an. |
| 085.022 |
On a guarded tablet. |
