sarwar
 
1.  *     By the heavens with constellations,
 
2.  *     by the promised day,
 
3.  *     and by the witness (Muhammad) and that which is witnessed (the Day of Judgment),
 
4.  *     may the people be condemned those who tortured (the believers) in ditches
 
5.  *     by a burning fire
 
6.  *     while they themselves sat around it
 
7.  *     witnessing what they were doing.
 
8.  *     The only reason for which they tormented the believers was the latter's belief in God, the Majestic, and Praiseworthy.
 
9.  *     and the One to whom belongs the heavens and the earth. God is the Witness of all things.
 
10.  *     Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire.
 
11.  *     As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph.
 
12.  *     The vengeance of God is terribly severe.
 
13.  *     It is He who creates all things and causes them to return.
 
14.  *     He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One,
 
15.  *     the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One,
 
16.  *     and the Most Effective in His decision.
 
17.  *     Have you not heard about the stories of the armies
 
18.  *     of the Pharaoh and Thamud?
 
19.  *     In fact, the disbelievers had always rejected (Our revelations).
 
20.  *     However, God encompassed their activities.
 
21.  *     What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran
 
22.  *     that exists in a well-guarded tablet.
