The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 And [by] the promised Day 2 By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;- 3 the people of the pit were destroyed 4 of fire fiercely burning [for all who have attained to faith]! 5 Lo! [With glee do] they contemplate that [fire,] 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 They had nothing against them, except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise! 8 Who, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. 9 Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning. 10 Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 Nay! This is a Glorious Quran, 21 written on a preserved Tablet. 22
