The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 And by oath of the Promised Day. 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel, 5 Behold! they sat over against the (fire), 6 witnessing what they were doing. 7 and their revenge on them was only because they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praised, 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 9 Verily, as for those who persecute believing men and believing women, and thereafter do not repent, hell's suffering awaits them: yea, suffering through fire awaits them! 10 Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). That is the great success. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Performer of what He desires. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 of Pharaoh, and of [the tribe of] Thamud? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
