The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven of the constellations! 1 By the promised Day (of Judgment); 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 destroyed were the people of the trench, 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 Witnessing what they had done to the believers! 7 They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, 8 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 9 Indeed those who troubled the Muslim men and Muslim women, and then did not repent – for them is the punishment of hell, and for them is the punishment of fire. 10 For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires), 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 Verily He! He it is who beginneth and repeateth it. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 The Lord of the glorious Throne, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and Thamud? 18 Nay! The disbelievers (persisted) in denying (Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and his Message of Islamic Monotheism). 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an, 21 in a guarded tablet. 22
