The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 And by the Day promised, 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 destroyed were the people of the trench, 4 by a burning fire 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 They had nothing against them, except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise! 8 Who, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. 9 Verily those who affected the believing men and the believing women, and then repented not, theirs shall be the torment of Hell, and theirs shall be the torment of burning. 10 Surely for those who believe and do the right are gardens with rivers running by. That is the greatest success. 11 The grip of your Lord is severe indeed! 12 It is verily He who initiates and repeats. 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious, 15 Doer of what He will. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and Thamud? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran, 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
