The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 and by the promised Day, 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: 5 When they sat by it, 6 and were witnessing what they did to the believers. 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything. 9 Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement 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 The grip of your Lord is severe indeed! 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 Doer of whatsoever He intendeth. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 And yet, they who are bent on denying the truth persist in giving it the lie: 19 And Allah encompasses them on every side. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
