1.  *     By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars,
 
2.  *     And by the Promised Day.
 
3.  *     And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony,
 
4.  *     (Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch
 
5.  *     Of the fuel-fed fire,
 
6.  *     When they sat by it,
 
7.  *     And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers.
 
8.  *     They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise,
 
9.  *     Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness.
 
10.  *     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.
 
11.  *     Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success.
 
12.  *     Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern.
 
13.  *     Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth,
 
14.  *     And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,
 
15.  *     Lord of the Throne of Glory,
 
16.  *     Doer of what He will.
 
17.  *     Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts
 
18.  *     Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud?
 
19.  *     Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial
 
20.  *     And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them.
 
21.  *     Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an.
 
22.  *     On a guarded tablet.
