The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven with its impregnable castles; 1 And [by] the promised Day 2 By the witness and the witnessed! 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 the fire abounding in fuel, 5 When they sat by it, 6 and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers 7 And what did they dislike from the Muslims, except that the Muslims accepted faith in Allah the Most Honourable, the Most Praiseworthy? 8 To Him only belongs the kingship of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness over all things. 9 Indeed those who troubled the Muslim men and Muslim women, and then did not repent – for them is the punishment of hell, and for them is the punishment of fire. 10 But those who believe and do good deeds shall be rewarded with gardens watered by flowing rivers. That is the supreme triumph. 11 The vengeance of God is terribly severe. 12 It is verily He who initiates and repeats. 13 and He is the All-forgiving, the All-loving, 14 Owner of the Throne, the Exalted. 15 a sovereign doer of whatever He wills. 16 Has there reached you the story of the soldiers - 17 of Pharaoh and of Thamood? 18 Nay, but the unbelievers still cry lies, 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 Nay! This is a Glorious Quran, 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
