The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 And the promised day, 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 Of fire fuel-fed, 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers (i.e. burning them). 7 whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in God, the Almighty, the One to whom all praise is due, 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 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 Verily the grip of thine Lord is severe. 12 It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life). 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 Effecter of what He intends. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran, 21 in a Guarded Tablet. 22
