The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven with its impregnable castles; 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 and by the witness and what is witnessed: 3 may the people be condemned those who tortured (the believers) in ditches 4 the fire abounding in fuel, 5 Behold! they sat over against the (fire), 6 witnessing what they were doing. 7 and their revenge on them was only because they believed in Allah, the Almighty, the Praised, 8 God to whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and God is Witness over everything. 9 Those who persecuted the believing men and women and never repented, there is for them the punishment of Gehenna (Hell), and for them the punishment of the burning. 10 Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement. 11 Stern indeed is your Lord's punishment. 12 It is He who creates all things and causes them to return. 13 and He is the All-forgiving, the All-loving, 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 the Executor of what He wills. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 of Pharaoh and of Thamood? 18 Nay! those who disbelieve are in (the act of) giving the lie to the truth. 19 And Allah encompasses them from behind! (i.e. all their deeds are within His Knowledge, and He will requite them for their deeds). 20 Aye! it is a Recitation glorious, 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
