The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel, 5 When they sat by it (fire), 6 Witnessing what they had done to the believers! 7 And they persecuted them for naught save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy 8 God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over 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 Verily those who believed and worked righteous works, theirs shall be Gardens whereunder the rivers flow; that is the supreme achievement. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 Surely it is He who originates, and brings again, 13 And He is Oft-Forgiving, full of love (towards the pious who are real true believers of Islamic Monotheism), 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 And Allah encompasses them on every side. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 (Preserved) on the guarded tablet. 22
