The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heavens with constellations, 1 And by the Day promised, 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 Cursed be the makers of the pit, 4 by a burning fire 5 when they were seated around it 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 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 Who, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. 9 Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them), and then do not turn in repentance, (to Allah), will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire. 10 Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success. 11 Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe. 12 It is verily He who initiates and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 Doer of what He will. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 And Allah encompasses them on every side. 20 This is indeed the glorious Qur'an 21 upon an imperishable tablet [inscribed]. 22
