The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 And [by] the promised Day 2 And [by] the witness and what is witnessed, 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 when they were seated over it 6 fully conscious of what they are doing to the believers, 7 They had nothing against them, except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise! 8 to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God is witness over all things. 9 Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire. 10 Verily those who believed and worked righteous works, theirs shall be Gardens whereunder the rivers flow; that is the supreme achievement. 11 Stern indeed is your Lord's punishment. 12 Verily He! He it is who beginneth and repeateth it. 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 and the Most Effective in His decision. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 of the Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 upon an imperishable tablet [inscribed]. 22
