The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
I swear by the mansions of the stars, 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel, 5 When they sat by it, 6 and were themselves witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 The only reason for which they tormented the believers was the latter's belief in God, the Majestic, and Praiseworthy. 8 God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything. 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 Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). That is the great success. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 Surely it is He who originates, and brings again, 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 The Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 Effecter of what He intends. 16 Has not there come to you the story of the hosts, 17 [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an, 21 (Preserved) on the guarded tablet. 22
