The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 And the promised day, 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 THEY DESTROY [but] themselves, they who would ready a pit 4 the fire abounding in fuel, 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers. 7 They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, 8 Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to 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 the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 and He is the Ever Forgiving, the Most Loving 14 The Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 Doer of whatsoever He intendeth. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
