1.  *     By the heaven full of stars!
 
2.  *     And the promised day!
 
3.  *     And the bearer of witness and that to which witness is borne!
 
4.  *     Destruction overtake the companions of the trench! --
 
5.  *     The fire fed with fuel --
 
6.  *     When they sit by it,
 
7.  *     And they are witnesses of what they do with the believers.
 
8.  *     And they punished them for naught but that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised,
 
9.  *     Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Witness of all things.
 
10.  *     Those who persecute believing men and believing women, then repent not, theirs is the chastisement of hell, and theirs the chastisement of burning.
 
11.  *     Those who believe and do good, theirs are Gardens wherein flow rivers. That is the great achievement.
 
12.  *     Surely the grip of thy Lord is severe.
 
13.  *     Surely He it is Who creates first and reproduces;
 
14.  *     And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,
 
15.  *     Lord of the Throne of Power, the Glorious,
 
16.  *     Doer of what He intends.
 
17.  *     Has not there come to thee the story of the hosts,
 
18.  *     Of Pharaoh and Thamud?
 
19.  *     Nay, those who disbelieve give the lie --
 
20.  *     And Allah encompasses them on all sides.
 
21.  *     Nay, it is a glorious Qur’an,
 
22.  *     In a guarded tablet.
