The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 And the promised day, 2 And by oath of the day that is a witness and by oath of a day in which the people present themselves. 3 Accursed be the People of the Ditch! 4 Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel, 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 7 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised, 8 Whose kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth. God is witness over everything. 9 Verily, as for those who persecute believing men and believing women, and thereafter do not repent, hell's suffering awaits them: yea, suffering through fire awaits them! 10 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement. 11 The grip of your Lord is severe indeed! 12 Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats. 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 Lord of the Throne, the Glorious, 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an, 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
