The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens with constellations, 1 by the promised day, 2 And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, 3 the people of the pit were destroyed 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers. 7 They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, 8 [and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything! 9 Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire. 10 (But) for those who believe and do good works, for them there are Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is the Great Victory! 11 Indeed, the seizing of your Lord is severe. 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 of Pharaoh, and of [the tribe of] Thamud? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
