The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 by the Promised Day, 2 By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;- 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: 5 They sat by it 6 And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers (i.e. burning them). 7 The only reason for which they tormented the believers was the latter's belief in God, the Majestic, and Praiseworthy. 8 Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things. 9 Surely those who tormented the believing men and the believing women and then did not repent, theirs shall be the chastisement of Hell, and theirs shall be the chastisement of burning. 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 The grip of your Lord is severe indeed! 12 It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life). 13 And He alone is truly-forgiving, all-embracing in His love, 14 Master of the Honourable Throne. 15 Performer of what He desires. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 Pharaoh and Thamood? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 In a guarded tablet. 22
