The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky with its constellations, 1 by the Promised Day, 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 when they were seated over it 6 And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers. 7 whom they hated for no other reason than that they believed in God, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy, 8 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 9 Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented will have the punishment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the Burning Fire. 10 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment. 11 The grip of your Lord is indeed severe, 12 Behold, it is He who creates [man] in the first instance, and He [it is who] will bring him forth anew. 13 And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving. 14 Lord of the Throne, the All-glorious, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. 20 Indeed, this is a Glorious Koran, 21 in a guarded tablet. 22
