The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heaven of the constellations! 1 By the Promised Day! 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 the fire abounding in fuel, 5 When they sat by it, 6 witnessing what they were doing. 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 Those who persecute the believers, men and women, and then have not repented, there awaits them the chastisement of Gehenna, and there awaits them the chastisement of the burning. 10 As for those who believed and acted righteously, theirs shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great triumph. 11 The grip of your Lord is severe indeed! 12 Behold, it is He who creates [man] in the first instance, and He [it is who] will bring him forth anew. 13 And He is Oft-Forgiving, full of love (towards the pious who are real true believers of Islamic Monotheism), 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Have you not heard the story of the hosts 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
