85:3  And by the Witness and by the Witnessed.

85:4  Cursed were the People of the Ditch.

85:5  Of fire fed with fuel.

85:6  When they sat by it.

85:7  And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers.

85:8  And they had no fault except that they believed in Allah, the Almighty, Worthy of all praise!

85:9  To Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything.

85:11  Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow. That is the supreme success.

85:12  Verily, the punishment of your Lord is severe and painful.

85:13  Verily, He it is Who begins and repeats.

85:14  And He is Oft-Forgiving, Al-Wadud.

85:15  Owner of the Throne, Al-Majid (the Glorious).

85:16  Doer of what He intends.

85:17  Has the story reached you of the hosts.

85:18  Of Fir`awn and Thamud

85:19  Nay! The disbelievers (persisted) in denying.

85:20  And Allah encompasses them from behind!

85:21  Nay! This is a Glorious Qur'an,

85:22  In Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz!
