The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven with its impregnable castles; 1 and by the promised Day, 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 The companions of the pit were killed 4 Full of fire fed by faggots, 5 As they sat around it 6 And they themselves are witnesses to what they were doing to the Muslims! 7 They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, 8 Whose kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth. God is witness over everything. 9 Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire. 10 Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success. 11 Surely the might of your Lord is great. 12 Surely He it is Who originates and reproduces, 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 and the Most Effective in His decision. 16 Has not there come to you the story of the hosts, 17 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud? 18 Yet those who deny the truth persist in denial. 19 Allah encompasses them all from behind. 20 Nay; but this is a glorious Qur'an, 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
