The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 by the promised day, 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 They sat by it 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 And what did they dislike from the Muslims, except that the Muslims accepted faith in Allah the Most Honourable, the Most Praiseworthy? 8 Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things. 9 Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them), and then do not turn in repentance, (to Allah), will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire. 10 Verily those who believed and worked righteous works, theirs shall be Gardens whereunder the rivers flow; that is the supreme achievement. 11 VERILY, thy Sustainer's grip is exceedingly strong! 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Affectionate, 14 The Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 Executor of His own will. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 [Those of] Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 And Allah encompasses them on every side. 20 Nay! it is a glorious Quran, 21 upon an imperishable tablet [inscribed]. 22
