The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sky containing great stars 1 And by the Day promised, 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 They sat by it 6 and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers 7 Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy, 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and believing women, and then do not repent, will surely suffer the punishment of Hell, and the torment of burning. 10 Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. 11 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. 12 Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth, 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 Lord of the Throne, the Glorious, 15 a sovereign doer of whatever He wills. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial, 19 And Allah encompasses them from behind! (i.e. all their deeds are within His Knowledge, and He will requite them for their deeds). 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
