The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 by the Promised Day, 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 destroyed were the people of the trench, 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 When they sat by it, 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 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 believing women, and then do not repent, will surely suffer the punishment of Hell, and the torment of burning. 10 [But,] verily, they who attain to faith and do righteous deeds shall [in the life to come] have gardens through which running waters flow - that triumph most great! 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 He does what He intends (or wills). 16 Has not there come to you the story of the hosts, 17 Of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and Thamud? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 in a guarded tablet. 22
