Chapter 91, 15 verses
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والشمس وضحاها
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
By the Moon as she follows him;
والقمر إذا تلاها
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;
والنهار إذا جلاها
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
By the Night as it conceals it;
والليل إذا يغشاها
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;
والسماء وما بناها
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:
والأرض وما طحاها
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;
ونفس وما سواها
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right; -
فألهمها فجورها وتقواها
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
قد أفلح من زكاها
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
And he fails that corrupts it!
وقد خاب من دساها
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong - doing,
كذبت ثمود بطغواها
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا
Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).
إذ انبعث أشقاها
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا
But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She - camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"
فقال لهم رسول الله ناقة الله وسقياها
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!
فكذبوه فعقروها فدمدم عليهم ربهم بذنبهم فسواها
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
ولا يخاف عقباها
