The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven with its impregnable castles; 1 And by oath of the Promised Day. 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 the people of the pit were destroyed 4 by a burning fire 5 Behold! they sat over against the (fire), 6 Witnessing what they had done to the believers! 7 and their revenge on them was only because they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praised, 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 9 Surely those who tormented the believing men and the believing women and then did not repent, theirs shall be the chastisement of Hell, and theirs shall be the chastisement of burning. 10 (But) for those who believe and do good works, for them there are Gardens underneath which rivers flow that is the Great Victory! 11 Indeed, the seizing of your Lord is severe. 12 Indeed it is He Who initiates and redoes. 13 and He is the Ever Forgiving, the Most Loving 14 – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 Always doing whatever He wills. 16 Has the story of the armies reached you, 17 Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud? 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 While Allah encompasses them from behind. 20 But this is an honored Qur'an 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
