The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 And the promised day, 2 And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel, 5 Behold! they sat over against the (fire), 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 7 And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy, 8 to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God is witness over all things. 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 For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires), 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 and He is the Ever Forgiving, the Most Loving 14 Honorable Owner of the Throne, 15 Doer of whatsoever He intendeth. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an. 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
