The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 And the promised day, 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 the people of the pit were destroyed 4 Of fire fuel-fed, 5 When they were sitting near it 6 And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers (i.e. burning them). 7 They had nothing against them, except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise! 8 Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things. 9 Verily those who affected the believing men and the believing women, and then repented not, theirs shall be the torment of Hell, and theirs shall be the torment of burning. 10 Verily those who believed and worked righteous works, theirs shall be Gardens whereunder the rivers flow; that is the supreme achievement. 11 The grip of your Lord is indeed severe, 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious, 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Has it come to you the story of the hosts 17 [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 Whereas Allah is, from behind them, Encompassing. 20 In fact it (what they deny) is the Noble Qur’an. 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
