The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heavens with constellations, 1 by the promised day, 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 destroyed were the people of the trench, 4 by a burning fire 5 As they sat around it 6 and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers 7 whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in God, the Almighty, the One to whom all praise is due, 8 Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things. 9 Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them), and then do not turn in repentance, (to Allah), will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire. 10 Surely for those who believe and do the right are gardens with rivers running by. That is the greatest success. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 It is verily He who initiates and repeats. 13 And He is Oft-Forgiving, full of love (towards the pious who are real true believers of Islamic Monotheism), 14 The Lord of the glorious Throne, 15 a sovereign doer of whatever He wills. 16 Has the story reached you of the hosts, 17 of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
