The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 By the promised Day (of Judgment); 2 And [by] the witness and what is witnessed, 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel, 5 When they were sitting near it 6 Witnessing what they had done to the believers! 7 The only reason for which they tormented the believers was the latter's belief in God, the Majestic, and Praiseworthy. 8 Whose kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth. God is witness over everything. 9 Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning. 10 Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success. 11 Stern indeed is your Lord's punishment. 12 Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth, 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 a sovereign doer of whatever He wills. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 Of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and Thamud? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 Nay! This is a Glorious Quran, 21 In a guarded tablet. 22
