The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heaven with its impregnable castles; 1 and by the promised Day, 2 By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;- 3 slain were the Men of the Pit, 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: 5 As they sat around it 6 and were themselves witnesses of what they did with the believers. 7 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised, 8 Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things. 9 Verily, as for those who persecute believing men and believing women, and thereafter do not repent, hell's suffering awaits them: yea, suffering through fire awaits them! 10 As for those who believed and acted righteously, theirs shall be Gardens beneath which rivers flow. That is the great triumph. 11 Indeed the seizure of your Lord is very severe. 12 it is He who begins and repeats [His creation], 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 Executor of His own will. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 (The armies of) Firaun and the tribe of Thamud. 18 In fact, the disbelievers had always rejected (Our revelations). 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
