The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
I swear by the mansions of the stars, 1 by the promised day, 2 and [of] Him who witnesses [all,] and [of] that unto which witness is borne [by Him]! 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 Of the fuel-fed fire, 5 When they sat by it 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!- 8 to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Allah witnesses everything. 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 Indeed those who believed and did good deeds – for them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow; this is the great success. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)! 19 Allah encompasses them all from behind. 20 Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran, 21 (Preserved) on the guarded tablet. 22
