001Ayah 1 of 22

By the sky full of constellations,

002Ayah 2 of 22

and by the promised Day,

003Ayah 3 of 22

and by the witness and the witnessed,

004Ayah 4 of 22

cursed be the makers of the trench[1],

Translation notes: [1] Those who worked for a tyrannical king and did not allow the people to believe in Allah. Their blind obedience to their ruler incurred upon them the curse of Allah.

005Ayah 5 of 22

the fire full of fuel,

006Ayah 6 of 22

when they sat around it,

007Ayah 7 of 22

and were witnessing what they did to the believers[2].

Translation notes: [2] After the believers were casted into a trench of fire, they sat around it watching them burn to death. It occurred long before Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) time.

008Ayah 8 of 22

Their only grievance against them was that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the Praiseworthy,

009Ayah 9 of 22

to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and earth, and Allah is Witness over all things.

010Ayah 10 of 22

Indeed, for those who tortured the believing men and women, and then did not repent, there will be the punishment of Hell and the punishment of the burning fire[3].

Translation notes: [3] Those who burned the believers will be punished with the burning fire in the Hereafter.

011Ayah 11 of 22

But those who believed and did righteous deeds will certainly have gardens under which rivers flow; that is the supreme triumph.

012Ayah 12 of 22

Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is severe.

013Ayah 13 of 22

Indeed, it is He Who originates [the creation] and then resurrects all,

014Ayah 14 of 22

and He is the All-Forgiving, the Most Affectionate,

015Ayah 15 of 22

the Lord of the Glorious Throne;

016Ayah 16 of 22

He does whatever He wills.

017Ayah 17 of 22

Has there not come to you the story of the forces

018Ayah 18 of 22

of Pharaoh and Thamūd?

019Ayah 19 of 22

But the disbelievers are in persistent denial,

020Ayah 20 of 22

although Allah encompasses them from all sides.

021Ayah 21 of 22

But this is a glorious Qur’an,

022Ayah 22 of 22

[inscribed] in a Preserved Tablet.
