The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sky with its constellations, 1 And the promised day, 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 the makers of the fuel-stoked fire! 5 when they were seated around it 6 fully conscious of what they are doing to the believers, 7 They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, 8 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 9 Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them the punishment of the burning. 10 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment. 11 Verily the grip of thine Lord is severe. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Doer of what He will. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 The unbelievers are indeed engaged in denying it, calling it a lie, 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran, 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
