The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, 1 And by oath of the Promised Day. 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 Cursed be the makers of the pit, 4 of fire fiercely burning [for all who have attained to faith]! 5 When they were sitting near it 6 witnessing what they were doing. 7 and their revenge on them was only because they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praised, 8 [and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything! 9 Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire. 10 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 Surely it is He who originates, and brings again, 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 Executor of His own will. 16 Has it come to you the story of the hosts 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 In the Preserved Tablet. 22
