85:1 (I swear) by the skies, with (all) the constellations.

85:2 And the promised Day (of Judgment),

85:3 And (by) the witness (bearing the evidence), as well as the evidence (itself).

85:4 How terrible were the people of the trench.

85:5 (They arranged) the fire fed with abundant fuel (of alive Believers who refused to submit to their false gods).

85:6 and they sat by it (Fire),

85:7 Witnessing what they had done to the believers!

85:8 They tortured them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praise Worthy,

85:9 to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is witness to all things.

85:10 Those who persecute the believing men and women and then do not repent will certainly suffer the punishment of Hell and the torment of burning.

85:11 Surely, those who believe and do righteous deeds, they will have gardens (of Paradise) under which rivers flow. That is the great success.

85:12 Indeed, the crushing grip of your Lord is severe.

85:13 Surely, it is He Who originates the creation of everything, and it is He Who will repeat it on the Day of Resurrection.

85:14 He is the Most Forgiving and the Most Loving!

85:15 All Glorious  Lord of the Throne,

85:16 He does everything whatever He wishes.

85:17 Has the story of the (destroyed) forces reached you (O Prophet  ﷺ),

85:18 (the forces of) Pharaoh and Thamûd?

85:19 Yet those who disbelieve (among your people) persist in denying (the Divine Message).

85:20 But Allah encompasses them from all sides.

85:21 This is indeed a glorious Quran,

85:22 (inscribed) in the Preserved Tablet.
