The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven of the constellations! 1 And the promised day, 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 the fire abounding in fuel, 5 when they were seated around it 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 They had no other reason for hating them except that they believed in God the mighty, worthy of praise, 8 Whose kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth. God is witness over everything. 9 Verily those who affected the believing men and the believing women, and then repented not, theirs shall be the torment of Hell, and theirs shall be the torment of burning. 10 Indeed those who believed and did good deeds – for them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow; this is the great success. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 Indeed, it is He who originates [creation] and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 Master of the Honourable Throne. 15 Doer of whatsoever He intendeth. 16 Have you not heard about the stories of the armies 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
