The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 And the promised day, 2 And by oath of the day that is a witness and by oath of a day in which the people present themselves. 3 (Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 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 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a 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 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth, 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 Master of the Honourable Throne. 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 And Allah encompasses them on every side. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an. 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
