The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I swear by the mansions of the stars, 1 by the promised day, 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 destroyed were the people of the trench, 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 and were themselves witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy, 8 to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is the Witness of all things. 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 Verily those who believed and worked righteous works, theirs shall be Gardens whereunder the rivers flow; that is the supreme achievement. 11 Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe. 12 It is verily He who initiates and repeats. 13 And He alone is truly-forgiving, all-embracing in His love, 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 and the Most Effective in His decision. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 Of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and Thamud? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 In a guarded tablet. 22
