The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I swear by the mansions of the stars, 1 by the promised day, 2 and by the witness (Muhammad) and that which is witnessed (the Day of Judgment), 3 Cursed be the makers of the pit, 4 of fire fiercely burning [for all who have attained to faith]! 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers. 7 They had nothing against them, except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise! 8 Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things. 9 Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire. 10 (But) for those who believe and do good works, for them there are Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is the Great Victory! 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Master of the Honourable Throne. 15 a sovereign doer of whatever He wills. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 In fact it (what they deny) is the Noble Qur’an. 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
