The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 And the promised day, 2 and by the witness (Muhammad) and that which is witnessed (the Day of Judgment), 3 (Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 Behold! they sat over against the (fire), 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 They had no other reason for hating them except that they believed in God the mighty, worthy of praise, 8 God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything. 9 Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them the punishment of the burning. 10 As for those who believed and acted righteously, theirs shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great triumph. 11 VERILY, thy Sustainer's grip is exceedingly strong! 12 It is verily He who initiates and repeats. 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 Performer of what He desires. 16 Has the story reached you of the hosts, 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 In a guarded tablet. 22
