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 And the bearer of witness and those against whom the witness is borne. 3 the people of the pit were destroyed 4 the makers of the fuel-stoked fire! 5 When they sat by it 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 7 whom they hate for no other reason than that they believe in God, the Almighty, the One to whom all praise is due, 8 Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness. 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 [But,] verily, they who attain to faith and do righteous deeds shall [in the life to come] have gardens through which running waters flow - that triumph most great! 11 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 and He is the Forgiving and Loving One. 14 Master of the Honourable Throne. 15 a sovereign doer of whatever He wills. 16 Hast thou received the story of the hosts, 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 Allah encompasses them all from behind. 20 Nay, but this [divine writ which they reject] is a discourse sublime, 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
