The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven of the constellations! 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 and [of] Him who witnesses [all,] and [of] that unto which witness is borne [by Him]! 3 may the people be condemned those who tortured (the believers) in ditches 4 Of fire fuel-fed, 5 They sat by it 6 Witnessing what they had done to the believers! 7 And what did they dislike from the Muslims, except that the Muslims accepted faith in Allah the Most Honourable, the Most Praiseworthy? 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 9 Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire. 10 Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). That is the great success. 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 Pharaoh and Thamood? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
