The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heavens with constellations, 1 And the promised day, 2 By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;- 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 Of fire fuel-fed, 5 When they sat by it (fire), 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, 8 to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God is witness over all things. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire. 10 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment. 11 Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe. 12 Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 of Pharaoh and of Thamood? 18 But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial, 19 Whereas Allah is, from behind them, Encompassing. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Koran, 21 written on a preserved Tablet. 22
