The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 And by the Promised Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 2 and by the witness (Muhammad) and that which is witnessed (the Day of Judgment), 3 the people of the pit were destroyed 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 while they sat around it, 6 and were witnessing what they did to the believers. 7 And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy, 8 God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything. 9 Indeed those who troubled the Muslim men and Muslim women, and then did not repent – for them is the punishment of hell, and for them is the punishment of fire. 10 [But,] verily, they who attain to faith and do righteous deeds shall [in the life to come] have gardens through which running waters flow - that triumph most great! 11 Indeed, the seizing of your Lord is severe. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 Who does as He pleases. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 and God is behind them, encompassing. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
