The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 And the promised day, 2 And [by] the witness and what is witnessed, 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 the makers of the fuel-stoked fire! 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 And they, to what they were doing against the believers, were witnesses. 7 Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy, 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 9 Verily, as for those who persecute believing men and believing women, and thereafter do not repent, hell's suffering awaits them: yea, suffering through fire awaits them! 10 For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires), 11 The grip of your Lord is indeed severe, 12 He it is Who creates for the first time and He it is Who will create again, 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Koran, 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
