The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the heaven of the constellations! 1 by the promised day, 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 Of fire fuel-fed, 5 When they sat by it, 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God is witness over all things. 9 Verily, as for those who persecute believing men and believing women, and thereafter do not repent, hell's suffering awaits them: yea, suffering through fire awaits them! 10 Surely for those who believe and do the right are gardens with rivers running by. That is the greatest success. 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Have you not heard the story of the hosts 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 In the Preserved Tablet. 22
