The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 and [then bethink thyself of] the promised Day, 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 destroyed were the people of the trench, 4 of fire fiercely burning [for all who have attained to faith]! 5 When they sat by it 6 Witnessing what they had done to the believers! 7 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised, 8 and the One to whom belongs the heavens and the earth. God is the Witness of all things. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire. 10 Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). That is the great success. 11 The grip of your Lord is severe indeed! 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 The Lord of the glorious Throne, 15 Performer of what He desires. 16 Has the story reached you of the hosts, 17 of the Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
