The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven of the constellations! 1 And the promised day, 2 And [by] the witness and what is witnessed, 3 Accursed be the People of the Ditch! 4 the makers of the fuel-stoked fire! 5 when they were seated around it 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 dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 9 Verily those who affected the believing men and the believing women, and then repented not, theirs shall be the torment of Hell, and theirs shall be the torment of burning. 10 Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. 11 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. 12 It is verily He who initiates and repeats. 13 and He is the All-forgiving, the All-loving, 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Has the story of the armies reached you, 17 Pharaoh and Thamood? 18 And yet, they who are bent on denying the truth persist in giving it the lie: 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 In the Preserved Tablet. 22
