The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sky with its constellations, 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 And the witness and the witnessed, 3 Perish the fellows of the ditch, 4 Of the fuel-fed fire, 5 while they themselves sat around it 6 to watch what they were doing to the believers, 7 They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, 8 Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness. 9 Surely those who tormented the believing men and the believing women and then did not repent, theirs shall be the chastisement of Hell, and theirs shall be the chastisement of burning. 10 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 It is verily He who initiates and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving. 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 Executor of His own will. 16 Has the story reached thee, of the forces- 17 of Pharaoh, and of [the tribe of] Thamud? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 On a guarded tablet. 22
