The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 (Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch 4 with fire abounding in fuel, 5 while they sat around it, 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 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 and the One to whom belongs the heavens and the earth. God is the Witness of all things. 9 Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning. 10 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement. 11 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness, 14 Honorable Owner of the Throne, 15 Effecter of what He intends. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 Allah encompasses them all from behind. 20 Nay! This is a Glorious Quran, 21 in a Guarded Tablet. 22
