Chapter 91, 15 verses
Waalshshamsi waduhaha
I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
Waalqamari itha talaha
And the moon when it follows the sun,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
Waalnnahari itha jallaha
And the day when it shows it,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
Waallayli itha yaghshaha
And the night when it draws a veil over it,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
Waalssamai wama banaha
And the heaven and Him Who made it,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
Waalardi wama tahaha
And the earth and Him Who extended it,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
Wanafsin wama sawwaha
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
Qad aflaha man zakkaha
He will indeed be who purifies it,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
Waqad khaba man dassaha
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا
Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha
So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she - camel, and (give) her (to) drink.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا
Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha
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 بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha
And He fears not its consequence.
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
