Chapter 91, 15 verses
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والشمس وضحاها
I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
والقمر إذا تلاها
And the moon when it follows the sun,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
والنهار إذا جلاها
And the day when it shows it,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
والليل إذا يغشاها
And the night when it draws a veil over it,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
والسماء وما بناها
And the heaven and Him Who made it,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
والأرض وما طحاها
And the earth and Him Who extended it,
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
ونفس وما سواها
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
فألهمها فجورها وتقواها
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
قد أفلح من زكاها
He will indeed be who purifies it,
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
وقد خاب من دساها
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
كذبت ثمود بطغواها
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا
إذ انبعث أشقاها
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا
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.
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
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).
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
ولا يخاف عقباها
And He fears not its consequence.
