The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 By the Promised Day! 2 By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;- 3 Cursed be the makers of the pit, 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 when they were seated around it 6 fully conscious of what they are doing to the believers, 7 And they persecuted them for naught save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy 8 God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything. 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 Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. 11 Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 Effecter of what He intends. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 Pharaoh and Thamood? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 Allah encompasses them all from behind. 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
