85: The Mansions of the Stars, Constellations
|
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 God, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-
|
9 |
Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And God
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 God doth encompass them from behind!
|
21 |
Day, this is a Glorious Qur'án,
|
22 |
(Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!
