The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 By the Promised Day! 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 Perish the fellows of the ditch, 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 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 earth. And Allah is the Witness of all things. 9 Surely for those who persecute believers, men and women, and do not repent afterwards, is the punishment of Hell, and the punishment 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 The grip of your Lord is severe indeed! 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 and He is the All-forgiving, the All-loving, 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 a sovereign doer of whatever He wills. 16 Has the story reached you of the hosts, 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 Nay! those who disbelieve are in (the act of) giving the lie to the truth. 19 And Allah encompasses them on every side. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an. 21 in a Guarded Tablet. 22
