85 - The Mansions Of The Stars

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

 
1I swear by the mansions of the stars,
 
2And the promised day,
 
3And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne.
 
4Cursed be the makers of the pit,
 
5Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel,
 
6When they sat by it,
 
7And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers.
 
8And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised,
 
9Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things.
 
10Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning.
 
11Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement.
 
12Surely the might of your Lord is great.
 
13Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces,
 
14And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,
 
15Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious,
 
16The great doer of what He will.
 
17Has not there come to you the story of the hosts,
 
18Of Firon and Samood?
 
19Nay! those who disbelieve are in (the act of) giving the lie to the truth.
 
20And Allah encompasses them on every side.
 
21Nay! it is a glorious Quran,
 
22In a guarded tablet.
