Sura LXXXV (85)
The Starry
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the
star-bespangled Heaven!
By the
promised Day!
By the
witness and the witnessed!
Cursed
the masters of the trench
Of the
fuel-fed fire,
When
they sat around it
Witnesses
of what they inflicted on the believers!
Nor
did they torment them but for their faith in God, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy:
His
the kingdom of the Heavens and of the Earth; and God is the
witness of everything.
85:10 Verily, those who vexed the believers,
men and women, and repented not, doth the torment of Hell, and the torment of
the burning, await.
But
for those who shall have believed and done the things that be right, are the
Gardens beneath whose shades the rivers flow. This is the immense bliss!
Verily,
right terrible will by thy Lord's vengeance!
He it
is who produceth all things, and causeth them to return;
And is
He the Indulgent, the Loving;
Possessor
of the Glorious throne;
Worker
of that he willeth.
Hath
not the story reached thee of the hosts
Of
Pharaoh and Themoud?
Nay! the infidels are all for denial:
85:20 But God surroundeth them from behind.
Yet it
is a glorious Koran,
Written
on the preserved Table.
