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