The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the heaven with its impregnable castles; 1 By the promised Day (of Judgment); 2 By the witness and the witnessed! 3 That accursed are the men of the trench 4 Of fire fuel-fed, 5 When they were sitting at its edge. 6 and they were witnesses of what they did to the believers 7 And they persecuted them for naught save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy 8 Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness. 9 Surely (as for) those who persecute the believing men and the believing women, then do not repent, they shall have the chastisement of hell, and they shall have the chastisement of burning. 10 Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success. 11 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. 12 He it is Who creates for the first time and He it is Who will create again, 13 And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness, 14 Lord of the Throne of Glory, 15 Who does as He pleases. 16 Did the story of the armies reach you? 17 Of Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? 18 But they who disbelieve are in [persistent] denial, 19 However, God encompassed their activities. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
