The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 by the Promised Day, 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 When they sat by it (fire), 6 and were witnessing what they did to 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 the One to whom belongs the heavens and the earth. God is the Witness of all things. 9 Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning. 10 Surely for those who believe and do the right are gardens with rivers running by. That is the greatest success. 11 The grip of your Lord is indeed severe, 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 And He only is the Oft Forgiving, the Beloved of His bondmen. 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Firaun and the tribe of Thamud. 18 But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial, 19 Allah encompasses them all from behind. 20 Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran, 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
