The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; 1 By the Promised Day! 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 Of the fire (kept burning) with fuel, 5 Behold! they sat over against the (fire), 6 to watch what they were doing to the believers, 7 Against these they had no grudge except that they believed in Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Praiseworthy, 8 to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God is witness over all things. 9 Surely for those who persecute believers, men and women, and do not repent afterwards, is the punishment of Hell, and the punishment of burning. 10 (But) for those who believe and do good works, for them there are Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is the Great Victory! 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 He is the All-forgiving, the Most Loving One, 14 Honorable Owner of the Throne, 15 Who does as He pleases. 16 Has the story of the armies reached you, 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)! 19 And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. 20 Nay! This is a Glorious Quran, 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
