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