1 85:1
By the sky full of constellations,
2 85:2
and the promised Day ˹of Judgment˺,
3 85:3
and the witness and what is witnessed!1
4 85:4
Condemned are the makers of the ditch—
5 85:5
the fire ˹pit˺, filled with fuel—
6 85:6
when they sat around it,
7 85:7
watching what they had ˹ordered to be˺ done to the believers,
8 85:8
who they resented for no reason other than belief in Allah—the Almighty, the Praiseworthy—
9 85:9
˹the One˺ to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is a Witness over all things.
10 85:10
Those who persecute the believing men and women and then do not repent will certainly suffer the punishment of Hell and the torment of burning.
11 85:11
Surely those who believe and do good will have Gardens under which rivers flow. That is the greatest triumph.
12 85:12
Indeed, the ˹crushing˺ grip of your Lord is severe.
13 85:13
˹For˺ He is certainly the One Who originates and resurrects ˹all˺.
14 85:14
And He is the All-Forgiving, All-Loving—
15 85:15
Lord of the Throne, the All-Glorious,
16 85:16
Doer of whatever He wills.
17 85:17
Has the story of the ˹destroyed˺ forces reached you ˹O Prophet˺—
18 85:18
˹the forces of˺ Pharaoh and Thamûd?
19 85:19
Yet the disbelievers ˹still˺ persist in denial.
20 85:20
But Allah encompasses them from all sides.
