The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 And the promised day, 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 Accursed be the People of the Ditch! 4 with fire abounding in fuel, 5 when they were seated over it 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in God, the Almighty, the One to whom all praise is due, 8 Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness. 9 Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them the punishment of the burning. 10 As for those who believed and acted righteously, theirs shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great triumph. 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 Who does as He pleases. 16 Has the story of the armies reached you, 17 Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
