Chapter 91, 15 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والشمس وضحاها
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
By the sun and its brightness
والقمر إذا تلاها
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
And [by] the moon when it follows it
والنهار إذا جلاها
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
And [by] the day when it displays it
والليل إذا يغشاها
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
And [by] the night when it covers it
والسماء وما بناها
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
And [by] the sky and He who constructed it
والأرض وما طحاها
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
And [by] the earth and He who spread it
ونفس وما سواها
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it
فألهمها فجورها وتقواها
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,
قد أفلح من زكاها
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
He has succeeded who purifies it,
وقد خاب من دساها
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].
كذبت ثمود بطغواها
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,
إذ انبعث أشقاها
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا
When the most wretched of them was sent forth.
فقال لهم رسول الله ناقة الله وسقياها
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا
And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she - camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."
فكذبوه فعقروها فدمدم عليهم ربهم بذنبهم فسواها
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].
ولا يخاف عقباها
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
And He does not fear the consequence thereof.
