The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 and [then bethink thyself of] the promised Day, 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 with fire abounding in fuel, 5 When they sat by it, 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 And what did they dislike from the Muslims, except that the Muslims accepted faith in Allah the Most Honourable, the Most Praiseworthy? 8 Who, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and believing women, and then do not repent, will surely suffer the punishment of Hell, and the torment 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 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats. 13 And He only is the Oft Forgiving, the Beloved of His bondmen. 14 The Lord of the glorious Throne, 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 16 Have you not heard the story of the hosts 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an. 21 written on a preserved Tablet. 22
