Chapter 91, 15 verses
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والشمس وضحاها
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the sun and his brightness,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
والقمر إذا تلاها
And the moon when she followeth him,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
والنهار إذا جلاها
And the day when it revealeth him,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
والليل إذا يغشاها
And the night when it enshroudeth him,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
والسماء وما بناها
And the heaven and Him Who built it,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
والأرض وما طحاها
And the earth and Him Who spread it,
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
ونفس وما سواها
And a soul and Him Who perfected it
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
فألهمها فجورها وتقواها
And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
قد أفلح من زكاها
He is indeed who causeth it to grow,
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
وقد خاب من دساها
And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
كذبت ثمود بطغواها
(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا
إذ انبعث أشقاها
When the basest of them broke forth
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا
فقال لهم رسول الله ناقة الله وسقياها
And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she - camel of Allah, so let her drink!
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
فكذبوه فعقروها فدمدم عليهم ربهم بذنبهم فسواها
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
ولا يخاف عقباها
He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
