The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 And the promised day, 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 When they sat by it (fire), 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in God, the Almighty, the One to whom all praise is due, 8 [and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything! 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 The grip of your Lord is severe indeed! 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 16 HAS IT ever come within thy ken, the story of the [sinful] hosts 17 Pharaoh and Thamood? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an, 21 In a guarded tablet. 22
