The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 and by the promised Day, 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 by a burning fire 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 and were themselves witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy, 8 to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Allah witnesses everything. 9 Verily those who affected the believing men and the believing women, and then repented not, theirs shall be the torment of Hell, and theirs shall be the torment of burning. 10 Indeed those who believed and did good deeds – for them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow; this is the great success. 11 Stern indeed is your Lord's punishment. 12 Surely it is He who originates, and brings again, 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Performer of what He desires. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 (The armies of) Firaun and the tribe of Thamud. 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 Whereas Allah is, from behind them, Encompassing. 20 This is indeed the glorious Qur'an 21 In a guarded tablet. 22
