Chapter 91, 15 verses
I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
Waalshshamsi waduhaha
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the sun and his brightness,
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
And the moon when it follows the sun,
Waalqamari itha talaha
And the moon when she followeth him,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
And the day when it shows it,
Waalnnahari itha jallaha
And the day when it revealeth him,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
And the night when it draws a veil over it,
Waallayli itha yaghshaha
And the night when it enshroudeth him,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
And the heaven and Him Who made it,
Waalssamai wama banaha
And the heaven and Him Who built it,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
And the earth and Him Who extended it,
Waalardi wama tahaha
And the earth and Him Who spread it,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
Wanafsin wama sawwaha
And a soul and Him Who perfected it
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;
Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha
And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
He will indeed be who purifies it,
Qad aflaha man zakkaha
He is indeed who causeth it to grow,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
Waqad khaba man dassaha
And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha
(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha
When the basest of them broke forth
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا
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
And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she - camel of Allah, so let her drink!
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا
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
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
And He fears not its consequence.
Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha
He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
