بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والشمس وضحاها
I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
Waalshshamsi waduhaha
Chapter 91, 15 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والشمس وضحاها
I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
Waalshshamsi waduhaha
والقمر إذا تلاها
And the moon when it follows the sun,
Waalqamari itha talaha
والنهار إذا جلاها
And the day when it shows it,
Waalnnahari itha jallaha
والليل إذا يغشاها
And the night when it draws a veil over it,
Waallayli itha yaghshaha
والسماء وما بناها
And the heaven and Him Who made it,
Waalssamai wama banaha
والأرض وما طحاها
And the earth and Him Who extended it,
Waalardi wama tahaha
ونفس وما سواها
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
Wanafsin wama sawwaha
فألهمها فجورها وتقواها
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;
Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha
قد أفلح من زكاها
He will indeed be who purifies it,
Qad aflaha man zakkaha
وقد خاب من دساها
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
Waqad khaba man dassaha
كذبت ثمود بطغواها
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha
إذ انبعث أشقاها
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha
فقال لهم رسول الله ناقة الله وسقياها
So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she - camel, and (give) her (to) drink.
Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha
فكذبوه فعقروها فدمدم عليهم ربهم بذنبهم فسواها
But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground).
Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha
ولا يخاف عقباها
And He fears not its consequence.
Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha
