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 Cursed were the people of the ditch (the story of the Boy and the King). 4 the makers of the fuel-stoked fire! 5 When they were sitting near it 6 And to that which they did to the believers were witnesses. 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 Those who persecute the believers, men and women, and then have not repented, there awaits them the chastisement of Gehenna, and there awaits them the chastisement of the burning. 10 Verily, those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). That is the great success. 11 The grip of your Lord is severe indeed! 12 It is verily He who initiates and repeats. 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 Lord of the Arsh, the Glorious, 15 a sovereign doer of whatever He wills. 16 Has it come to you the story of the hosts 17 (The armies of) Firaun and the tribe of Thamud. 18 In fact the disbelievers are in denial. 19 But God surrounds them from all sides. 20 What is revealed to you is certainly a glorious Quran 21 Inscribed in a tablet preserved. 22
