The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By heaven of the constellations, 1 and by the promised Day, 2 and by the witness (Muhammad) and that which is witnessed (the Day of Judgment), 3 Accursed be the People of the Ditch! 4 by a burning fire 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy, 8 and the One to whom belongs the heavens and the earth. God is the Witness of all things. 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 Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 and He is the Ever Forgiving, the Most Loving 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Effecter of what He intends. 16 Has it come to you the story of the hosts 17 the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 in a guarded tablet. 22
