85:1  I swear by the sky, the one having stellar formations

85:2  and by the Promised Day

85:3  and by that which attends, and that which is attended

85:4  cursed were the People of the Trench

85:5  the (people of the) fire that was rich with fuel

85:6  when they were sitting by it

85:7  and were watching what they were doing with the believers

85:8  They punished them for nothing but that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the Worthy of All Praise

85:9  the One to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is witness over every thing

85:10  Surely, those who persecuted the believing men and the believing women, then did not repent, __for them there is the torment of Jahannam (Hell), and for them there is the torment of burning

85:11  As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, for them there are gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the big achievement

85:12  The seizure of your Lord is severe indeed

85:13  Surely He originates (creation) and repeats (it after death)

85:14  And He is the Most-Forgiving, the Most-Loving

85:15  the Master of the Throne, the Glorious

85:16  He is ever doer of what He intends

85:17  Has there come to you the story of the forces

85:18  of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) and Thamud

85:19  But those who disbelieve are (engaged) in denying (the truth)

85:20  Allah has encompassed them from all sides

85:21  The reality is that it is the glorious Qur‘an

85:22  (recorded) in the Preserved Tablet (LauH MaHfuZ)
