The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven with its impregnable castles; 1 And by oath of the Promised Day. 2 by the Witness and the witnessed, 3 Cursed were the companions of the trench 4 Of the fuel-fed fire, 5 When they sat by it, 6 fully conscious of what they are doing to the believers, 7 And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!- 8 Who, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. 9 Surely those who tormented the believing men and the believing women and then did not repent, theirs shall be the chastisement of Hell, and theirs shall be the chastisement of 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 Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe. 12 Surely it is He who originates, and brings again, 13 He is the forgiving and the loving, 14 in sublime almightiness enthroned, 15 Who does as He pleases. 16 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 But those who disbelieve are engaged in denial. 19 Allah encompasses them all from behind. 20 Nay! This is a Glorious Quran, 21 that exists in a well-guarded tablet. 22
