The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven with its impregnable castles; 1 By the Promised Day! 2 By the witness and the witnessed! 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 the fire with its fuel, 5 When they sat by it (fire), 6 fully conscious of what they are doing to the believers, 7 And they persecuted them for naught save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy 8 To whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, over all things, is Witness. 9 Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning. 10 For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires), 11 Stern indeed is your Lord's punishment. 12 Indeed it is He Who initiates and redoes. 13 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 The Doer of whatever He wants. 16 Hast thou received the story of the hosts, 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 In fact, the disbelievers had always rejected (Our revelations). 19 God encompasses them from all sides. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
