The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the heaven with its impregnable castles; 1 by the promised day, 2 By the witness and the witnessed! 3 Perish the fellows of the ditch, 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel: 5 When they sat by it (fire), 6 Witnessing what they had done to the believers! 7 They took revenge on them only because they believed in the All-mighty, the Al-laudable, 8 God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything. 9 Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning. 10 Surely for those who believe and do the right are gardens with rivers running by. That is the greatest success. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 Behold, it is He who creates [man] in the first instance, and He [it is who] will bring him forth anew. 13 And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness, 14 The Lord of the Glorious Throne, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Has the story of the hordes 17 the armies of Pharaoh and Thamud? 18 Yet the infidels persist in denial. 19 Whereas Allah is, from behind them, Encompassing. 20 It is indeed a glorious Quran, 21 in a Guarded Tablet. 22
