By the sky full of constellations,
and by the promised Day,
and by the witness and the witnessed,
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.
the fire full of fuel,
when they sat around it,
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.
Their only grievance against them was that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, the Praiseworthy,
to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and earth, and Allah is Witness over all things.
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.
But those who believed and did righteous deeds will certainly have gardens under which rivers flow; that is the supreme triumph.
Indeed, the punishment of your Lord is severe.
Indeed, it is He Who originates [the creation] and then resurrects all,
and He is the All-Forgiving, the Most Affectionate,
the Lord of the Glorious Throne;
He does whatever He wills.
Has there not come to you the story of the forces
of Pharaoh and Thamūd?
But the disbelievers are in persistent denial,
although Allah encompasses them from all sides.
But this is a glorious Qur’an,
[inscribed] in a Preserved Tablet.
