The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the sky containing great stars 1 by the Promised Day, 2 And [by] the witness and what is witnessed, 3 Accursed be the People of the Ditch! 4 by a burning fire 5 When they sat by it, 6 And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 And they persecuted them for naught save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy 8 God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything. 9 Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire. 10 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
