The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 And by the Day promised, 2 And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 of fire fiercely burning [for all who have attained to faith]! 5 when they were seated around it 6 And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 and their revenge on them was only because they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praised, 8 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 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 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 Master of the Honourable Throne. 15 Who does as He pleases. 16 Has not there come to you the story of the hosts, 17 [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Nay! those who disbelieve are in (the act of) giving the lie to the truth. 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an, 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
