Chapter 91, 15 verses
I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا
Waalshshamsi waduhaha
And the moon when it follows the sun,
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا
Waalqamari itha talaha
And the day when it shows it,
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا
Waalnnahari itha jallaha
And the night when it draws a veil over it,
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا
Waallayli itha yaghshaha
And the heaven and Him Who made it,
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا
Waalssamai wama banaha
And the earth and Him Who extended it,
وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا
Waalardi wama tahaha
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
Wanafsin wama sawwaha
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha
He will indeed be who purifies it,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا
Qad aflaha man zakkaha
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا
Waqad khaba man dassaha
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَاهَا
Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا
Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha
So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she - camel, and (give) her (to) drink.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقْيَاهَا
Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha
But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground).
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاهَا
Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha
And He fears not its consequence.
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا
Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha
