The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 by the promised day, 2 And [by] the witness and what is witnessed, 3 (Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 while they sat around it, 6 And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, 8 Who, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. 9 Verily, as for those who persecute believing men and believing women, and thereafter do not repent, hell's suffering awaits them: yea, suffering through fire awaits them! 10 (But) for those who believe and do good works, for them there are Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is the Great Victory! 11 Verily the grip of thine Lord is severe. 12 Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats. 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 Master of the Honourable Throne. 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 16 Have you not heard the story of the hosts 17 of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 And Allah encompasses them on every side. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
