The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sky with its constellations, 1 And [by] the promised Day 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 may the people be condemned those who tortured (the believers) in ditches 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers 7 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised, 8 Whose kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth. God is witness over everything. 9 Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning. 10 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life). 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Has the story reached you of the hosts, 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 God encompasses them from all sides. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
