The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 And the promised day, 2 And by oath of the day that is a witness and by oath of a day in which the people present themselves. 3 Cursed be the makers of the pit, 4 the makers of the fuel-stoked fire! 5 Behold! they sat over against the (fire), 6 And were themselves the witnesses of what they did 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 to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God is witness over all things. 9 Verily, as for those who persecute believing men and believing women, and thereafter do not repent, hell's suffering awaits them: yea, suffering through fire awaits them! 10 Indeed those who believed and did good deeds – for them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow; this is the great success. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 He it is Who creates for the first time and He it is Who will create again, 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Master of the Honourable Throne. 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Pharaoh and Thamood? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 In fact it (what they deny) is the Noble Qur’an. 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
