--- |
|---|
| 85:1 | | The sky full of constellations stands witness |
| 85:2 | | And the Promised Day (when you see the Truth triumph over Falsehood) |
| 85:3 | | And He Who watches, and that which is being watched (will see that) |
| 85:4 | | Destroy themselves all those who dig ditches for others |
| 85:5 | | Igniting the fire of rage |
| 85:6 | | Behold, they contemplate and wait in anticipation |
| 85:7 | | And they are well aware of what they are doing to the believers |
| 85:8 | | Whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in Allah, the Almighty, the Owner of Praise.(5:59), (22:40) |
| 85:9 | | And to Whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. But Allah is Watcher over all things |
| 85:10 | | Behold, those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, and then repent not, theirs, verily, is the doom of Hell - yes, theirs is the doom of burning |
| 85:11 | | Verily, those who choose to be graced with belief and do actions that help people, theirs are the Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Eminence |
| 85:12 | | (Yet) Verily, strong is the Grip of your Lord |
| 85:13 | | Behold, He it is Who originates (life) and then makes again and again |
| 85:14 | | And He is the Forgiving, the Loving |
| 85:15 | | Lord of the Supreme Throne |
| 85:16 | | Carrying out His Plan according to His Laws. ('Fe'l' = Doing = Carrying out. 'Ma Yurid' = As He plans = As He wills = In accordance with His Laws) |
| 85:17 | | Has the story reached you of the great troops |
| 85:18 | | Of Pharaoh and Thamud |
| 85:19 | | And yet the rejecters knowingly live in denial |
| 85:20 | | But Allah surrounds them without them conceiving it. ('Minwwaraihim' = From behind them = Without them conceiving it) |
| 85:21 | | Nay, but this is Sublime Qur'an |
| 85:22 | | (Inscribed) upon Tablet Imperishable |
