The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By heaven of the constellations, 1 By the Promised Day! 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 Accursed be the People of the Ditch! 4 Of the fuel-fed fire, 5 When they sat by it 6 to watch what they were doing to the believers, 7 And they persecuted them for naught save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy 8 to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah 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 Indeed those who believed and did good deeds – for them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow; this is the great success. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Has not there come to you the story of the hosts, 17 Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud? 18 And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)! 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Koran, 21 (Preserved) on the guarded tablet. 22
