The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 And [by] the promised Day 2 And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne. 3 THEY DESTROY [but] themselves, they who would ready a pit 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel, 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 to watch what they were doing to the believers, 7 And what did they dislike from the Muslims, except that the Muslims accepted faith in Allah the Most Honourable, the Most Praiseworthy? 8 Whose kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth. God is witness over everything. 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 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Master of the Honourable Throne. 15 Effecter of what He intends. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial, 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 Nay! This is a Glorious Quran, 21 In the Preserved Tablet. 22
