The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I swear by the mansions of the stars, 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 And by the Day witnessing and the Day witnessed, 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel, 5 They sat by it 6 and were witnessing what they did to the believers. 7 They had no other reason for hating them except that they believed in God the mighty, worthy of praise, 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a 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 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving. 14 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious, 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 Of the Fir'awn and the Thamud? 18 And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)! 19 But Allah doth encompass them from behind! 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
