The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 And [by] 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 sat by it (fire), 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 9 Surely for those who persecute believers, men and women, and do not repent afterwards, is the punishment of Hell, and the punishment of burning. 10 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 Verily He! He it is who beginneth and repeateth it. 13 And He alone is truly-forgiving, all-embracing in His love, 14 Honorable Owner of the Throne, 15 and the Most Effective in His decision. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an. 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
