The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the heaven with its impregnable castles; 1 by the promised day, 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 The people of the fuelled blazing fire. 5 When they sat by it, 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 They had no other reason for hating them except that they believed in God the mighty, worthy of praise, 8 to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and earth. And Allah is the Witness of 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 Those who believe, and do righteous deeds, for them await gardens underneath which rivers flow; that is the great triumph. 11 The grip of your Lord is indeed severe, 12 Verily He! He it is who beginneth and repeateth it. 13 and He is the All-forgiving, the All-loving, 14 Lord of the Throne, the Glorious, 15 and the Most Effective in His decision. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 [Inscribed] in a Preserved Slate. 22
