The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, 1 By the Promised Day! 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: 5 As they sat around it 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 7 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised, 8 Him, Whose is the dominion of heavens and the earth. And Allah is over everything a Witness. 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 As for those who believed and acted righteously, theirs shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great triumph. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Has the story reached you of the hosts, 17 Of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and Thamud? 18 The unbelievers are indeed engaged in denying it, calling it a lie, 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an, 21 In a guarded tablet. 22
