The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sky with its constellations, 1 and by the promised Day, 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 the makers of the fuel-stoked fire! 5 When they sat by it, 6 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers. 7 And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!- 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 9 Surely for those who persecute believers, men and women, and do not repent afterwards, is the punishment of Hell, and the punishment of burning. 10 As for those who believed and acted righteously, theirs shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great triumph. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 Verily He! He it is who beginneth and repeateth it. 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 Lord of the Throne, the Glorious, 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
