The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 And by oath of the Promised Day. 2 And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne. 3 destroyed were the people of the trench, 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 As they sat around it 6 and were witnessing what they did to the believers. 7 They had no other reason for hating them except that they believed in God the mighty, worthy of praise, 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 9 Verily those who affected the believing men and the believing women, and then repented not, theirs shall be the torment of Hell, and theirs shall be the torment of burning. 10 [But,] verily, they who attain to faith and do righteous deeds shall [in the life to come] have gardens through which running waters flow - that triumph most great! 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats. 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an, 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
