The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 by the promised day, 2 And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne. 3 Perish the fellows of the ditch, 4 by a burning fire 5 when they were seated over it 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 7 And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy, 8 to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God is witness over all things. 9 Those who persecute the believers, men and women, and then have not repented, there awaits them the chastisement of Gehenna, and there awaits them the chastisement of the burning. 10 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 The vengeance of God is terribly severe. 12 It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life). 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 He does what He intends (or wills). 16 Has the story reached you of the hosts, 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 God encompasses them from all sides. 20 Nay! it is a glorious Quran, 21 in a Guarded Tablet. 22
