The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 And the promised day, 2 And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 fully conscious of what they are doing to the believers, 7 Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy, 8 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is 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 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 Surely it is He who originates, and brings again, 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 Master of the Honourable Throne. 15 Executor of His own will. 16 Has the story of the armies reached you, 17 of the Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. 20 Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran, 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
