The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 by the promised day, 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 When they were sitting near it 6 and were witnessing what they did to the believers. 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Allah witnesses everything. 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 believed and worked righteous works, theirs shall be Gardens whereunder the rivers flow; that is the supreme achievement. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 Surely it is He who originates, and brings again, 13 And He is Oft-Forgiving, full of love (towards the pious who are real true believers of Islamic Monotheism), 14 The Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an, 21 (Preserved) on the guarded tablet. 22
