Chapter 91, 15 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا
I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا
And the moon when it follows the sun,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا
And the day when it shows it,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا
And the night when it draws a veil over it,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا
And the heaven and Him Who made it,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا
And the earth and Him Who extended it,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا
He will indeed be who purifies it,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَاهَا
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقْيَاهَا
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
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاهَا
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
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا
And He fears not its consequence.
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
