The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
CONSIDER the sky full of great constellations, 1 And the promised day, 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 They sat by it 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things. 9 Indeed those who troubled the Muslim men and Muslim women, and then did not repent – for them is the punishment of hell, and for them is the punishment of fire. 10 [But,] verily, they who attain to faith and do righteous deeds shall [in the life to come] have gardens through which running waters flow - that triumph most great! 11 The vengeance of God is terribly severe. 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 Performer of what He desires. 16 Has not there come to you the story of the hosts, 17 [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 (Preserved) on the guarded tablet. 22
