The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I swear by the mansions of the stars, 1 And by oath of the Promised Day. 2 And [by] the witness and what is witnessed, 3 Cursed be the makers of the pit, 4 with fire abounding in fuel, 5 When they were sitting near it 6 fully conscious of what they are doing to the believers, 7 They had nothing against them, except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise! 8 Whose kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth. God is witness over everything. 9 Indeed those who troubled the Muslim men and Muslim women, and then did not repent – for them is the punishment of hell, and for them is the punishment of fire. 10 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life). 13 And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving. 14 The Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 Effecter of what He intends. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Koran, 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
