The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By heaven of the constellations, 1 And [by] the promised Day 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 Accursed be the People of the Ditch! 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 when they were seated around it 6 and were witnessing what they did to the believers. 7 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised, 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 9 Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire. 10 Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth, 13 And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving. 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 of Pharaoh, and of [the tribe of] Thamud? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 God encompasses them from all sides. 20 This is indeed the glorious Qur'an 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
