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 And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne. 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 Of fire fuel-fed, 5 Lo! [With glee do] they contemplate that [fire,] 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 They had no other reason for hating them except that they believed in God the mighty, worthy of praise, 8 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 9 Indeed those who troubled the Muslim men and Muslim women, and then did not repent – for them is the punishment of hell, and for them is the punishment of 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 thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Doer of whatsoever He intendeth. 16 Hast thou received the story of the hosts, 17 of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an. 21 in a Guarded Tablet. 22
