আল শামস

1 By the sun and its brightness

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the sun and his brightness,

2 And [by] the moon when it follows it

2 And the moon when she followeth him,

3 And [by] the day when it displays it

3 And the day when it revealeth him,

4 And [by] the night when it covers it

4 And the night when it enshroudeth him,

5 And [by] the sky and He who constructed it

5 And the heaven and Him Who built it,

6 And [by] the earth and He who spread it

6 And the earth and Him Who spread it,

7 And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

7 And a soul and Him Who perfected it

8 And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,

8 And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.

9 He has succeeded who purifies it,

9 He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,

10 And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].

10 And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.

11 Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,

11 (The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,

12 When the most wretched of them was sent forth.

12 When the basest of them broke forth

13 And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she - camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."

13 And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she - camel of Allah, so let her drink!

14 But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].

14 But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).

15 And He does not fear the consequence thereof.

15 He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
