Summary and links in the frieze
In the frieze Believers are persecuted for their faith alone; God witnesses it, and punishment awaits those who do not repent.
Read just before, 86 leads here: After "the sky which returns" (86:11), the next one also swears by the sky: "By the sky containing constellations!" (85:1). 86
It leads to 84: Those who have disowned (85:19) return in the next one: the Recitation is read to them, and they do not prostrate (84:21-22). 84
Closes on “They ask one another”
Kwa jina la Mungu, Mwingi wa Huruma, Mwenye Huruma. Kwa anga lenye makundi ya nyota! Na kwa Siku iliyoahidiwa! Na kwa shahidi na yale yanayoshuhudiwa! Waangamie marafiki wa handaki, wa moto uliolishwa kwa wingi, ilhali walikuwa wameketi kuuzunguka, na walikuwa mashahidi wa yale waliyokuwa wakiwafanyia waumini.
بِسۡمِ اِ۬للَّهِ اِ۬لرَّحۡمَٰنِ اِ۬لرَّحِيمِ وَاَلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ اِ۬لۡبُرُوجِ وَاَلۡيَوۡمِ اِ۬لۡمَوۡعُودِ وَشَاهِدٖ وَمَشۡهُودٖ قُتِلَ أَصۡحَٰبُ اُ۬لۡأُخۡدُودِ اِ۬لنّ۪ارِ ذَاتِ اِ۬لۡوَقُودِ إِذۡ هُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا قُعُودٞ وَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفۡعَلُونَ بِالۡمُومِنِينَ شُهُودٞ
Na hawakuwachukia ila kwa kumwamini Mungu, Mwenye Nguvu zote, Mhimidiwa, ambaye ufalme wa mbingu na ardhi ni Wake.
وَمَا نَقَمُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ إِلَّا أَن يُومِنُواْ بِاللَّهِ اِ۬لۡعَزِيزِ اِ۬لۡحَمِيدِ اِ۬لَّذِي لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ اُ۬لسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَاَلۡأَرۡضِۚ
Na Mungu ni shahidi wa kila kitu.
وَاَللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ
Wale waliowajaribu waumini wa kiume na wa kike, kisha hawakujuta, watapata hakika adhabu ya Jahanamu na watapata adhabu ya mteketezo.
إِنَّ اَ۬لَّذِينَ فَتَنُواْ اُ۬لۡمُومِنِينَ وَاَلۡمُومِنَٰت ثُّمَّ لَمۡ يَتُوبُواْ فَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابُ اُ۬لۡحَرِيقِ
Hakika wale walioamini na kutenda matendo mazima watapata bustani ambazo chini yake mito inatiririka.
إِنَّ اَ۬لَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ اُ۬لصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٞ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا اَ۬لۡأَنۡهَٰرُۚ
Huo ndio ushindi mkubwa.
ذَٰلِكَ اَ۬لۡفَوۡزُ اُ۬لۡكَبِيرُ
Mshiko wa Mlezi wako ni kwa yakini mkali.
۞ إِنَّ بَطۡشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ
Hakika Yeye ndiye anayeanza na kurudia.
إِنَّه هُّوَ يُبۡدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ
Na Yeye ni Mwenye Msamaha tele, Mpendaji, Mwenye Jengo,
وَهۡوَ اَ۬لۡغَفُورُ اُ۬لۡوَدُود ذُّو اُ۬لۡعَرۡشِ
Mwenye Utukufu, anayefanya bila kukoma yale anayokusudia.
اِ۬لۡمَجِيدُ فَعَّالٞ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ
Je, hotuba kuhusu majeshi, ya Firauni na Thamudi, imekufikia?
هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ اُ۬لۡجُنُودِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَثَمُودَ
Bali kinyume chake, wale waliokana wanashikilia kuita uongo, na Mungu anawazingira kutoka nyuma.
بَلِ اِ۬لَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي تَكۡذِيبٖ وَاَللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطُۢ
Bali kinyume chake, huu ni Usomaji wenye utukufu, katika Kibao Kilichohifadhiwa.
بَلۡ هُوَ قُرۡءَانٞ مَّجِيدٞ فِي لَوۡحٖ مَّحۡفُوظِۢ
