The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 By the Promised Day! 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 Cursed be the makers of the pit, 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy, 8 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 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 Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. 11 Stern indeed is your Lord's punishment. 12 Surely it is He who originates, and brings again, 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 Owner of the throne, the Glorious 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 In a guarded tablet. 22
