The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heavens with constellations, 1 and by the promised Day, 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 and were witnessing what they did to the believers. 7 They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 9 Surely those who tormented the believing men and the believing women and then did not repent, theirs shall be the chastisement of Hell, and theirs shall be the chastisement of burning. 10 Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). That is the great success. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 The Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 Who does as He pleases. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 of Pharaoh and of Thamood? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 Nay, but this [divine writ which they reject] is a discourse sublime, 21 In a guarded tablet. 22
