The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 and [then bethink thyself of] the promised Day, 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 destroyed were the people of the trench, 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 When they sat by it 6 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against 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 [and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything! 9 Surely those who tormented the believing men and the believing women and then did not repent, theirs shall be the chastisement of Hell, and theirs shall be the chastisement of burning. 10 (But) for those who believe and do good works, for them there are Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is the Great Victory! 11 Stern indeed is your Lord's punishment. 12 It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life). 13 And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness, 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an, 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
