The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 And by the Day promised, 2 By the witness and the witnessed! 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 Of fire fuel-fed, 5 When they were sitting near it 6 to watch what they were doing to the believers, 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is the Witness of all things. 9 Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire. 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 He it is Who creates for the first time and He it is Who will create again, 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an. 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
