[1] By the heavens with constellations,
[2] by the promised day,
[3] and by the witness (Muhammad) and that which is witnessed (the Day of Judgment),
[4] may the people be condemned those who tortured (the believers) in ditches
[5] by a burning fire
[6] while they themselves sat around it
[7] witnessing what they were doing.
[8] The only reason for which they tormented the believers was the latter's belief in God, the Majestic, and Praiseworthy.
[9] and the One to whom belongs the heavens and the earth. God is the Witness of all things.
[10] Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire.
[11] As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph.
[12] The vengeance of God is terribly severe.
[13] It is He who creates all things and causes them to return.
[14] He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One,
[15] the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One,
[16] and the Most Effective in His decision.
[17] Have you not heard about the stories of the armies
[18] of the Pharaoh and Thamud?
[19] In fact, the disbelievers had always rejected (Our revelations).
[20] However, God encompassed their activities.
[21] What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran
[22] that exists in a well-guarded tablet.
