The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 And the promised day, 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel, 5 when they were seated around it 6 And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 They had nothing against them, except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise! 8 [and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything! 9 Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire. 10 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment. 11 VERILY, thy Sustainer's grip is exceedingly strong! 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 and He is the All-forgiving, the All-loving, 14 Owner of the throne, the Glorious 15 Performer of what He desires. 16 Has it come to you the story of the hosts 17 [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 In fact it (what they deny) is the Noble Qur’an. 21 (Preserved) on the guarded tablet. 22
