Chapter 91, 15 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the sun and his brightness,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والشمس وضحاها
Waalshshamsi waduhaha
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
And the moon when she followeth him,
والقمر إذا تلاها
Waalqamari itha talaha
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
And the day when it revealeth him,
والنهار إذا جلاها
Waalnnahari itha jallaha
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
And the night when it enshroudeth him,
والليل إذا يغشاها
Waallayli itha yaghshaha
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
And the heaven and Him Who built it,
والسماء وما بناها
Waalssamai wama banaha
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
And the earth and Him Who spread it,
والأرض وما طحاها
Waalardi wama tahaha
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
And a soul and Him Who perfected it
ونفس وما سواها
Wanafsin wama sawwaha
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
فألهمها فجورها وتقواها
Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
He is indeed who causeth it to grow,
قد أفلح من زكاها
Qad aflaha man zakkaha
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.
وقد خاب من دساها
Waqad khaba man dassaha
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,
كذبت ثمود بطغواها
Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
When the basest of them broke forth
إذ انبعث أشقاها
Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا
And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she - camel of Allah, so let her drink!
فقال لهم رسول الله ناقة الله وسقياها
Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
فكذبوه فعقروها فدمدم عليهم ربهم بذنبهم فسواها
Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
ولا يخاف عقباها
Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
