The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 by a burning fire 5 when they were seated around it 6 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers. 7 and their revenge on them was only because they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praised, 8 to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God is witness over all things. 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 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 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 Honorable Owner of the Throne, 15 Who does as He pleases. 16 Have you not heard the story of the hosts 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 The unbelievers are indeed engaged in denying it, calling it a lie, 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an, 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
