The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky containing great stars 1 By the promised Day (of Judgment); 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 Accursed be the People of the Ditch! 4 with fire abounding in fuel, 5 while they sat around it, 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 and the One to whom belongs the heavens and the earth. God is the Witness of all things. 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 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 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 Nay! This is a Glorious Quran, 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
