The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 And the promised day, 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 when they were seated around it 6 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers. 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things. 9 Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire. 10 But those who believe and do good deeds shall be rewarded with gardens watered by flowing rivers. That is the supreme triumph. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 (Inscribed) in Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet)! 22
