The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 by the promised day, 2 By the witness and the witnessed! 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel, 5 when they were seated around it 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire. 10 (But) for those who believe and do good works, for them there are Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is the Great Victory! 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very 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 Who does as He pleases. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 Pharaoh and Thamood? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Koran, 21 in a Guarded Tablet. 22
