The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 by the promised day, 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 Perish the fellows of the ditch, 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 when they were seated over it 6 And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 They had nothing against them, except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise! 8 [and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything! 9 Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire. 10 As for those who believed and acted righteously, theirs shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great triumph. 11 Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 And He only is the Oft Forgiving, the Beloved of His bondmen. 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 He does what He intends (or wills). 16 Has not there come to you the story of the hosts, 17 Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 in a guarded tablet. 22
