The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the sky with its constellations, 1 by the Promised Day, 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers. 7 They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, 8 God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire. 10 Verily those who believed and worked righteous works, theirs shall be Gardens whereunder the rivers flow; that is the supreme achievement. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 Whereas Allah is, from behind them, Encompassing. 20 Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran, 21 in a Guarded Tablet. 22
