The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By heaven of the constellations, 1 By the promised Day (of Judgment); 2 By the witness and the witnessed! 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 the fire abounding in fuel, 5 Behold! they sat over against the (fire), 6 and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers 7 And they persecuted them for naught save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, 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 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Pharaoh and Thamood? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. 20 In fact it (what they deny) is the Noble Qur’an. 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
