The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, 1 And by oath of the Promised Day. 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 Cursed be the makers of the pit, 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 As they sat around it 6 And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers. 7 They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, 8 [and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything! 9 Indeed those who troubled the Muslim men and Muslim women, and then did not repent – for them is the punishment of hell, and for them is the punishment of fire. 10 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Indeed, the seizing of your Lord is severe. 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 And He only is the Oft Forgiving, the Beloved of His bondmen. 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 Who does as He pleases. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 of Pharaoh and of Thamood? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 Allah encompasses them all from behind. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 upon an imperishable tablet [inscribed]. 22
