The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heavens with constellations, 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 Perish the fellows of the ditch, 4 the fire abounding in fuel, 5 Behold! they sat over against the (fire), 6 and were witnessing what they did to the believers. 7 And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy, 8 [and] to whom the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs. But God is witness unto everything! 9 Those who persecute the believing men and believing women, and then do not repent, will surely suffer the punishment of Hell, and the torment of burning. 10 [But,] verily, they who attain to faith and do righteous deeds shall [in the life to come] have gardens through which running waters flow - that triumph most great! 11 Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 Lord of the Throne, the Glorious, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 (The armies of) Firaun and the tribe of Thamud. 18 In fact, the disbelievers had always rejected (Our revelations). 19 Whereas Allah is, from behind them, Encompassing. 20 Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an, 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
