The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 by the promised day, 2 and [of] Him who witnesses [all,] and [of] that unto which witness is borne [by Him]! 3 the people of the pit were destroyed 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers (i.e. burning them). 7 And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!- 8 and the One to whom belongs the heavens and the earth. God is the Witness of all things. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire. 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 Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe. 12 Surely it is He who originates, and brings again, 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 The Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Have you not heard the story of the hosts 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 In the Preserved Tablet. 22
