The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heavens with constellations, 1 And [by] the promised Day 2 And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne. 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 the fire with its fuel, 5 When they were sitting near it 6 and they were witnesses of what they did 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 Those who persecute the believing men and believing women, and then do not repent, will surely suffer the punishment of Hell, and the torment of burning. 10 Indeed those who believed and did good deeds – for them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow; this is the great success. 11 Indeed, the seizing of your Lord is severe. 12 It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life). 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 Executor of His own will. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
