The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the heaven adorned with big stars. 1 And the promised day, 2 by the witness and the witnessed, 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel, 5 When they sat by it, 6 Witnessing what they had done to the believers! 7 The only reason for which they tormented the believers was the latter's belief in God, the Majestic, and Praiseworthy. 8 and the One to whom belongs the heavens and the earth. God is the Witness of all things. 9 Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them the punishment of the burning. 10 Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great attainment. 11 The grip of your Lord is indeed severe, 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 The Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 He does what He intends (or wills). 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 of Pharaoh and of Thamood? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 (Inscribed) in Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet)! 22
