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 God, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-
85-9
Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And God 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)!
And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-
86-3
(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-
86-4
There is no soul but has a protector over it.
86-5
Now let man but think from what he is created!
86-6
He is created from a drop emitted-
86-7
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:
86-8
Surely (God) is able to bring him back (to life)!
86-9
The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,
86-10
(Man) will have no power, and no helper.
86-11
By the Firmament which returns (in its round),
86-12
And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-
86-13
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):
86-14
It is not a thing for amusement.
86-15
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
86-16
And I am planning a scheme.
86-17
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). THE MOST HIGH, GLORY TO YOUR LORD IN THE HIGHEST, CHAPTER NO. 087
