The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 by the promised day, 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 when they were seated over it 6 fully conscious of what they are doing to the believers, 7 And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy, 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 9 Those who persecute the believers, men and women, and then have not repented, there awaits them the chastisement of Gehenna, and there awaits them the chastisement of the burning. 10 Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 Effecter of what He intends. 16 Hast thou received the story of the hosts, 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved! 22
