The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER the sky full of great constellations, 1 And by oath of the Promised Day. 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 (Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel, 5 As they sat around it 6 witnessing what they were doing. 7 They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, 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 believing men and believing women, and then do not repent, will surely suffer the punishment of Hell, and the torment of burning. 10 Verily those who believed and worked righteous works, theirs shall be Gardens whereunder the rivers flow; that is the supreme achievement. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 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 Loving One. 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 of Pharaoh and of Thamood? 18 But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial, 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 In the Preserved Tablet. 22
