The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;- 3 destroyed were the people of the trench, 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 Behold! they sat over against the (fire), 6 And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers. 7 whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in God, the Almighty, the One to whom all praise is due, 8 Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things. 9 Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them), and then do not turn in repentance, (to Allah), will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire. 10 But those who believe and do good deeds shall be rewarded with gardens watered by flowing rivers. That is the supreme triumph. 11 Stern indeed is your Lord's punishment. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 Lord of the Throne, the Glorious, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 in a guarded tablet. 22
