The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sky containing great stars 1 and by the promised Day, 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 Perish the fellows of the ditch, 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 When they sat by it, 6 witnessing what they were doing. 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is the Witness of 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 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 Behold, it is He who creates [man] in the first instance, and He [it is who] will bring him forth anew. 13 And He is Oft-Forgiving, full of love (towards the pious who are real true believers of Islamic Monotheism), 14 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious, 15 Performer of what He desires. 16 Has the story of the armies reached you, 17 Pharaoh and Thamood? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an, 21 In the Preserved Tablet. 22
