The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sky containing great stars 1 and by the promised Day, 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 the people of the pit were destroyed 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 fully conscious of what they are doing 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 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 9 Indeed those who troubled the Muslim men and Muslim women, and then did not repent – for them is the punishment of hell, and for them is the punishment of fire. 10 [But,] verily, they who attain to faith and do righteous deeds shall [in the life to come] have gardens through which running waters flow - that triumph most great! 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 Fogiving, the Loving, 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 He does what He intends (or wills). 16 Has the story of the armies reached you, 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 And Allah encompasses them on every side. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
