The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 by the Promised Day, 2 By the witness and the witnessed! 3 Perish the fellows of the ditch, 4 by a burning fire 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!- 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 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 But those who believe and do good deeds shall be rewarded with gardens watered by flowing rivers. That is the supreme triumph. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 Surely it is He who originates, and brings again, 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 and the Most Effective in His decision. 16 Has the story of the armies reached you, 17 of Pharaoh, and of [the tribe of] Thamud? 18 In fact, the disbelievers had always rejected (Our revelations). 19 God encompasses them from all sides. 20 Nay! it is a glorious Quran, 21 In the Preserved Tablet. 22
