The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 And by the Promised Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 Cursed be the makers of the pit, 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel, 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers. 7 And they persecuted them for naught save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy 8 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and believing women, and then do not repent, will surely suffer the punishment of Hell, and the torment of burning. 10 Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. 11 Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe. 12 Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 On a guarded tablet. 22
