The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, 1 And the promised day, 2 And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers 7 They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, 8 to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is the Witness of all things. 9 Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them), and then do not turn in repentance, (to Allah), will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire. 10 Indeed those who believed and did good deeds – for them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow; this is the great success. 11 Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe. 12 Behold, it is He who creates [man] in the first instance, and He [it is who] will bring him forth anew. 13 And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving. 14 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Has the story of the armies reached you, 17 of Pharaoh and of Thamood? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an, 21 In a guarded tablet. 22
