The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sky containing great stars 1 And by the Day promised, 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 Cursed were the people of the ditch (the story of the Boy and the King). 4 the fire abounding in fuel, 5 They sat by it 6 witnessing what they were doing. 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 9 Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning. 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 seizing of your Lord is severe. 12 Indeed it is He Who initiates and redoes. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 God encompasses them from all sides. 20 Nay! it is a glorious Quran, 21 In the Preserved Tablet. 22
