| 1 | By heaven of the constellations, | Sura 85:21-22 is referenced on The Internet and Religion: 4. The Internet as a Sacred Media. |
| 2 | by the promised day, | |
| 3 | by the witness and the witnessed, | |
| 4 | slain were the Men of the Pit, | |
| 5 | the fire abounding in fuel, | |
| 6 | when they were seated over it | |
| 7 | and were themselves witnesses of what they did with the believers. | |
| 8 | They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, | |
| 9 | God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything. | |
| 10 | Those who persecute the believers, men and women, and then have not repented, there awaits them the chastisement of Gehenna, and there awaits them the chastisement of the burning. | |
| 11 | Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. | |
| 12 | Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. | |
| 13 | Surely it is He who originates, and brings again, | |
| 14 | and He is the All-forgiving, the All-loving, | |
| 15 | Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, | |
| 16 | Performer of what He desires. | |
| 17 | Hast thou received the story of the hosts, | |
| 18 | Pharaoh and Thamood? | |
| 19 | Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, | |
| 20 | and God is behind them, encompassing. | |
| 21 | Nay, but it is a glorious Koran, | |
| 22 | in a guarded tablet. |
