The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 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 Of fire fuel-fed, 5 As they sat around it 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, 8 Whose kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth. God is witness over everything. 9 Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning. 10 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment. 11 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. 12 Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 a sovereign doer of whatever He wills. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 of the Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an, 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
