The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 And by oath of the Promised Day. 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 Accursed be the People of the Ditch! 4 with fire abounding in fuel, 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 fully conscious of what they are doing 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 Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things. 9 Surely those who tormented the believing men and the believing women and then did not repent, theirs shall be the chastisement of Hell, and theirs shall be the chastisement of burning. 10 [But,] verily, they who attain to faith and do righteous deeds shall [in the life to come] have gardens through which running waters flow - that triumph most great! 11 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. 12 Indeed it is He Who initiates and redoes. 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 Honorable Owner of the Throne, 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Has not there come to you the story of the hosts, 17 Pharaoh and Thamood? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an, 21 (Preserved) on the guarded tablet. 22
