Chapter 91, 15 verses
I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
Waalshshamsi waduhaha
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
And the moon when it follows the sun,
Waalqamari itha talaha
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
And the day when it shows it,
Waalnnahari itha jallaha
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
And the night when it draws a veil over it,
Waallayli itha yaghshaha
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
And the heaven and Him Who made it,
Waalssamai wama banaha
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
And the earth and Him Who extended it,
Waalardi wama tahaha
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
Wanafsin wama sawwaha
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;
Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
He will indeed be who purifies it,
Qad aflaha man zakkaha
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
Waqad khaba man dassaha
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha
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
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
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
And He fears not its consequence.
Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
