85:1  By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs

85:2  By the promised Day (of Judgment)

85:3  By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;

85:4  Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire)

85:5  Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel

85:6  Behold! they sat over against the (fire)

85:7  And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers

85:8  And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!

85:9  Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things

85:10  Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire

85:11  For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires)

85:12  Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord

85:13  It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life)

85:14  And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness

85:15  Lord of the Throne of Glory

85:16  Doer (without let) of all that He intends

85:17  Has the story reached thee, of the forces

85:18  Of Pharaoh and the Thamud

85:19  And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)

85:20  But Allah doth encompass them from behind

85:21  Day, this is a Glorious Qur'an
