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 witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 of fire fiercely burning [for all who have attained to faith]! 5 when they were seated around it 6 Witnessing what they had done to the believers! 7 They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, 8 God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything. 9 Verily, as for those who persecute believing men and believing women, and thereafter do not repent, hell's suffering awaits them: yea, suffering through fire awaits them! 10 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 He does what He intends (or wills). 16 Has the story reached you of the hosts, 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial, 19 Whereas Allah is, from behind them, Encompassing. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
