The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 by the Promised Day, 2 And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne. 3 Perish the fellows of the ditch, 4 Of the fuel-fed fire, 5 They sat by it 6 and were witnessing what they did to the believers. 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 Who, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and believing women, and then do not repent, will surely suffer the punishment of Hell, and the torment of burning. 10 Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life). 13 And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving. 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Effecter of what He intends. 16 Have you not heard the story of the hosts 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an. 21 upon an imperishable tablet [inscribed]. 22
