The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 By the Promised Day! 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel, 5 When they sat by it 6 And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers (i.e. burning them). 7 whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in God, the Almighty, the One to whom all praise is due, 8 to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is the Witness of all things. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire. 10 Verily those who believed and worked righteous works, theirs shall be Gardens whereunder the rivers flow; that is the supreme achievement. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 and He is the All-forgiving, the All-loving, 14 Owner of the throne, the Glorious 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Have you not heard the story of the hosts 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 And yet, they who are bent on denying the truth persist in giving it the lie: 19 And Allah is after them, has them surrounded. 20 Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran, 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
