85:0 In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

85:1 The sky and its galaxies.

85:2 The promised day.

85:3 The witness and the witnessed.

85:4 Woe to the people of the canyon.

85:5 They ignited a blazing fire.

85:6 Then sat around it.

85:7 To watch the burning of the believers.

85:8 They hated them for no other reason than believing in GOD, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy.

85:9 To Him belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth. And GOD witnesses all things.

85:10 Surely, those who persecute the believing men and women, then fail to repent, have incurred the retribution of Gehenna; they have incurred the retribution of burning.

85:11 Surely, those who believed and led a righteous life, have deserved gardens with flowing streams. This is the greatest triumph.

85:12 Indeed, your Lord's blow is severe.

85:13 He is the One who initiates and repeats.

85:14 And He is the Forgiving, Most Kind.

85:15 Possessor of the glorious throne.

85:16 Doer of whatever He wills.

85:17 Did you note the history of the troops?

85:18 Pharaoh and Thamoud?

85:19 Those who disbelieve are plagued with denial.

85:20 GOD is fully aware of them.

85:21 Indeed, it is a glorious Quran.

85:22 In a preserved master tablet.
