The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 And by the Day promised, 2 and by the witness (Muhammad) and that which is witnessed (the Day of Judgment), 3 may the people be condemned those who tortured (the believers) in ditches 4 Of the fuel-fed fire, 5 When they sat by it (fire), 6 And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 The only reason for which they tormented the believers was the latter's belief in God, the Majestic, and Praiseworthy. 8 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 9 Surely for those who persecute believers, men and women, and do not repent afterwards, is the punishment of Hell, and the punishment of burning. 10 But those who believe and do good deeds shall be rewarded with gardens watered by flowing rivers. That is the supreme triumph. 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 Indeed it is He Who initiates and redoes. 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Doer of whatsoever He intendeth. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 Whereas Allah is, from behind them, Encompassing. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
