The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 By the promised Day (of Judgment); 2 And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, 3 the people of the pit were destroyed 4 Of fire fuel-fed, 5 When they sat by it, 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 7 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised, 8 [and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything! 9 Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning. 10 For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires), 11 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. 12 It is verily He who initiates and repeats. 13 and He is the All-forgiving, the All-loving, 14 Owner of the throne, the Glorious 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 In fact, the disbelievers had always rejected (Our revelations). 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an, 21 upon an imperishable tablet [inscribed]. 22
