The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the sky containing great stars 1 By the promised Day (of Judgment); 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 by a burning fire 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 fully conscious of what they are doing to the believers, 7 And what did they dislike from the Muslims, except that the Muslims accepted faith in Allah the Most Honourable, the Most Praiseworthy? 8 Who, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. 9 Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them the punishment of the burning. 10 Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). That is the great success. 11 Indeed, the seizing of your Lord is severe. 12 Verily He! He it is who beginneth and repeateth it. 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 Lord of the Throne, the Glorious, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Hast thou received the story of the hosts, 17 of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 (Inscribed) in Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet)! 22
