The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 and [of] Him who witnesses [all,] and [of] that unto which witness is borne [by Him]! 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 when they were seated over it 6 and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers 7 Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy, 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 9 Verily, as for those who persecute believing men and believing women, and thereafter do not repent, hell's suffering awaits them: yea, suffering through fire awaits them! 10 Verily those who believed and worked righteous works, theirs shall be Gardens whereunder the rivers flow; that is the supreme achievement. 11 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 and the Most Effective in His decision. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an. 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
