85:1  By the heaven with its Houses,

85:2  by the Promised Day,

85:3  by the Witness and the Witnessed:

85:4  perish the People of the Ditch!

85:5  The fire abounding in fuel,

85:6  above which they sat

85:7  as they were themselves witnesses to what they did to the faithful.

85:8  They were vindictive towards them only because they had faith in Allah, the All-mighty and the All-laudable,

85:9  to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is witness to all things.

85:10  Indeed those who persecute the faithful, men and women, and do not repent thereafter, there is the punishment of hell for them and the punishment of burning.

85:11  Indeed those who have faith and do righteous deeds—for them will be gardens with streams running in them. That is the supreme success.

85:12  Indeed your Lord’s striking is severe.

85:13  It is indeed He who originates and brings back,

85:14  and He is the All-forgiving, the All-affectionate,

85:15  Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious,

85:16  doer of what He desires.

85:17  Did you receive the story of the hosts

85:18  of Pharaoh and Thamud?

85:19  Indeed the faithless dwell in denial,

85:20  and Allah besieges them from all around.

85:21  Indeed it is a glorious Quran,

85:22  in a preserved tablet.
