The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heavens with constellations, 1 And the promised day, 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 of fire fiercely burning [for all who have attained to faith]! 5 When they were sitting near it 6 witnessing what they were doing. 7 The only reason for which they tormented the believers was the latter's belief in God, the Majestic, and Praiseworthy. 8 Who, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and believing women, and then do not repent, will surely suffer the punishment of Hell, and the torment 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 begins and repeats [His creation], 13 And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness, 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 Executor of His own will. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 Allah encompasses them all from behind. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
