The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 By the Promised Day! 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 When they sat by it (fire), 6 And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers (i.e. burning them). 7 They had nothing against them, except that they believed in Allah, the All-Mighty, Worthy of all Praise! 8 [and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything! 9 Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them the punishment of the burning. 10 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 It is verily He who initiates and repeats. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 16 Has the story reached you of the hosts, 17 Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 Allah encompasses them all from behind. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
