The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 And the promised day, 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 may the people be condemned those who tortured (the believers) in ditches 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 when they were seated around it 6 And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers. 7 They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, 8 to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Allah witnesses everything. 9 Surely for those who persecute believers, men and women, and do not repent afterwards, is the punishment of Hell, and the punishment of burning. 10 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 Indeed it is He Who initiates and redoes. 13 and He is the All-forgiving, the All-loving, 14 The Lord of the glorious Throne, 15 Doer of whatsoever He intendeth. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 Pharaoh and Thamood? 18 But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial, 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
