The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By heaven of the constellations, 1 And [by] the promised Day 2 And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 Of the fuel-fed fire, 5 when they were seated around it 6 and were witnessing what they did to the believers. 7 And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!- 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 9 Indeed those who troubled the Muslim men and Muslim women, and then did not repent – for them is the punishment of hell, and for them is the punishment of 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 the grip of thine Lord is severe. 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 And He alone is truly-forgiving, all-embracing in His love, 14 Owner of the throne, the Glorious 15 Performer of what He desires. 16 Has the story of the armies reached you, 17 Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
