The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky with its constellations, 1 And [by] the promised Day 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 (Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 When they were sitting near it 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 and their revenge on them was only because they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praised, 8 Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness. 9 Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire. 10 Indeed those who believed and did good deeds – for them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow; this is the great success. 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 Honorable Owner of the Throne, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 Nay! those who disbelieve are in (the act of) giving the lie to the truth. 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 Nay! it is a glorious Quran, 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
