The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 Behold! they sat over against the (fire), 6 witnessing what they were doing. 7 And what did they dislike from the Muslims, except that the Muslims accepted faith in Allah the Most Honourable, the Most Praiseworthy? 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 9 Those who persecute the believing men and women without repenting will suffer the torment of hell and that of the burning fire. 10 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 Indeed it is He Who initiates and redoes. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Owner of the throne, the Glorious 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 (The armies of) Firaun and the tribe of Thamud. 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 Allah encompasses them all from behind. 20 Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an, 21 In the Preserved Tablet. 22
