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