The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky with its constellations, 1 and by the promised Day, 2 By the witness and the witnessed! 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 with fire abounding in fuel, 5 When they sat by it, 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, 8 to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is the Witness of all things. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire. 10 But those who believe and do good deeds shall be rewarded with gardens watered by flowing rivers. That is the supreme triumph. 11 Indeed, the seizing of your Lord is severe. 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 Executor of His own will. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 Of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and Thamud? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Koran, 21 in a guarded tablet. 22
