The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky containing great stars 1 By the Promised Day! 2 and by the witness (Muhammad) and that which is witnessed (the Day of Judgment), 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 When they sat by it 6 And they were witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in God, the Almighty, the One to whom all praise is due, 8 Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the 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 Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success. 11 Indeed, the vengeance of your Lord is severe. 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious, 15 Effecter of what He intends. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 On a guarded tablet. 22
