The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sky containing great stars 1 and by the promised Day, 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 Accursed be the People of the Ditch! 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 when they were seated over it 6 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers. 7 They had nothing against them, except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise! 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 9 Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire. 10 Indeed those who believed and did good deeds – for them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow; this is the great success. 11 VERILY, thy Sustainer's grip is exceedingly strong! 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial, 19 God encompasses them from all sides. 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 In the Preserved Tablet. 22
