The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heavens with constellations, 1 by the promised day, 2 By the witness and the witnessed! 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 to watch what they were doing to the believers, 7 And what did they dislike from the Muslims, except that the Muslims accepted faith in Allah the Most Honourable, the Most Praiseworthy? 8 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 9 Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them the punishment of the burning. 10 [But,] verily, they who attain to faith and do righteous deeds shall [in the life to come] have gardens through which running waters flow - that triumph most great! 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 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 Effecter of what He intends. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 Whereas Allah is, from behind them, Encompassing. 20 Nay! This is a Glorious Quran, 21 In a guarded tablet. 22
