The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the heaven with its impregnable castles; 1 by the Promised Day, 2 And [by] the witness and what is witnessed, 3 Accursed be the People of the Ditch! 4 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel, 5 When they sat by it 6 witnessing what they were doing. 7 And they resented them not except because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy, 8 to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Allah witnesses 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 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 Verily, (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) the Grip (Punishment) of your Lord is severe. 12 It is He who originates and repeats. 13 And He is the Fogiving, the Loving, 14 Master of the Honourable Throne. 15 Who does as He pleases. 16 HAS IT ever come within thy ken, the story of the [sinful] hosts 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 Yet the unbelievers still belie, 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 Nay! it is a glorious Quran, 21 inscribed on a well-guarded Tablet. 22
