The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By oath of the heaven which contains the constellations. 1 and [then bethink thyself of] the promised Day, 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 Perish the fellows of the ditch, 4 of fire fiercely burning [for all who have attained to faith]! 5 When they sat by it (fire), 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 The only reason for which they tormented the believers was the latter's belief in God, the Majestic, and Praiseworthy. 8 Who, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah 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 (But) for those who believe and do good works, for them there are Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is the Great Victory! 11 Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe. 12 He it is Who creates for the first time and He it is Who will create again, 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 The Lord of the glorious Throne, 15 Executor of His own will. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)! 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
