The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven of the constellations! 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 the fire with its fuel, 5 As they sat around it 6 to watch what they were doing to the believers, 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Allah witnesses everything. 9 Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning. 10 Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. 11 Stern indeed is your Lord's punishment. 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 The Lord of the glorious Throne, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 Whereas Allah is, from behind them, Encompassing. 20 In fact it (what they deny) is the Noble Qur’an. 21 written on a preserved Tablet. 22
