The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER the sky full of great constellations, 1 And the promised day, 2 And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 by a burning fire 5 When they sat by it, 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, 8 Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things. 9 Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them), and then do not turn in repentance, (to Allah), will have the torment 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 The grip of your Lord is indeed severe, 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 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 And Allah is after them, has them surrounded. 20 Nay, but it is a glorious Koran, 21 in a Guarded Tablet. 22
