Chapter 91, 15 verses
I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والشمس وضحاها
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا
And the moon when it follows the sun,
والقمر إذا تلاها
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا
And the day when it shows it,
والنهار إذا جلاها
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا
And the night when it draws a veil over it,
والليل إذا يغشاها
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا
And the heaven and Him Who made it,
والسماء وما بناها
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا
And the earth and Him Who extended it,
والأرض وما طحاها
وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
ونفس وما سواها
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;
فألهمها فجورها وتقواها
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
He will indeed be who purifies it,
قد أفلح من زكاها
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
وقد خاب من دساها
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
كذبت ثمود بطغواها
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَاهَا
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
إذ انبعث أشقاها
إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا
So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she - camel, and (give) her (to) drink.
فقال لهم رسول الله ناقة الله وسقياها
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقْيَاهَا
But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground).
فكذبوه فعقروها فدمدم عليهم ربهم بذنبهم فسواها
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاهَا
And He fears not its consequence.
ولا يخاف عقباها
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا
