The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, 1 And by the Promised Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 may the people be condemned those who tortured (the believers) in ditches 4 with fire abounding in fuel, 5 When they were sitting near it 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 and their revenge on them was only because they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praised, 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 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 As for those who believed and acted righteously, theirs shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great triumph. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Has it come to you the story of the hosts 17 of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial, 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Koran, 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
