The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sky with its constellations, 1 By the Promised Day! 2 And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne. 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 When they sat by it (fire), 6 Witnessing what they had done 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 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 9 Verily those who affected the believing men and the believing women, and then repented not, theirs shall be the torment of Hell, and theirs shall be the torment of burning. 10 Surely for those who believe and do the right are gardens with rivers running by. That is the greatest success. 11 The grip of your Lord is indeed severe, 12 Behold, it is He who creates [man] in the first instance, and He [it is who] will bring him forth anew. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 The Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Have you not heard the story of the hosts 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran, 21 written on a preserved Tablet. 22
