The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, 1 By the Promised Day! 2 And [by] the witness and what is witnessed, 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 by a burning fire 5 When they sat by it, 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 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 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 Indeed it is He Who initiates and redoes. 13 And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving. 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 Nay! those who disbelieve are in (the act of) giving the lie to the truth. 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran, 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
