The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heavens with constellations, 1 And by the Promised Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 2 By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;- 3 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire), 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: 5 When they sat by it, 6 to watch what they were doing to the believers, 7 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised, 8 to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. God is witness over all things. 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 As for the righteously striving believers, they will live in Paradise wherein streams flow. This is the greatest triumph. 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 And He only is the Oft Forgiving, the Beloved of His bondmen. 14 Lord of the Throne, the Glorious, 15 Doer (without let) of all that He intends. 16 Has the story of the armies reached you, 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
