The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER the sky full of great constellations, 1 And by the Day promised, 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 with fire abounding in fuel, 5 They sat by it 6 And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers. 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 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 Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). That is the great success. 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 Executor of His own will. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)! 19 God encompasses them from all sides. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 in a Guarded Tablet. 22
