The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heavens with constellations, 1 And the promised day, 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 When they sat by it (fire), 6 and were themselves witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 The only reason for which they tormented the believers was the latter's belief in God, the Majestic, and Praiseworthy. 8 Whose kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth. God is witness over everything. 9 Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them the punishment of the burning. 10 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement. 11 VERILY, thy Sustainer's grip is exceedingly strong! 12 Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth, 13 And He only is the Oft Forgiving, the Beloved of His bondmen. 14 The Lord of the glorious Throne, 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 Nay! it is a glorious Quran, 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
