The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heavens with constellations, 1 By the promised Day (of Judgment); 2 And [by] the witness and what is witnessed, 3 destroyed were the people of the trench, 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 As they sat around it 6 and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers 7 Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy, 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 9 Those who persecute the believers, men and women, and then have not repented, there awaits them the chastisement of Gehenna, and there awaits them the chastisement of the 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 Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe. 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 only is the Oft Forgiving, the Beloved of His bondmen. 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 of Pharaoh and of Thamood? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 This is indeed the glorious Qur'an 21 On a guarded tablet. 22
