আশ শামস (সূর্য)

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the sun and its brightness.

2 By the moon as it follows it (the sun).

2 Waalqamari itha talaha

3 By the day as it shows up (the sun's) brightness.

3 Waalnnahari itha jallaha

4 By the night as it conceals it (the sun).

5 By the heaven and Him Who built it.

5 Waalssamai wama banaha

6 By the earth and Him Who spread it.

6 Waalardi wama tahaha

7 By Nafs (Adam or a person or a soul), and Him Who perfected him in proportion;

7 Wanafsin wama sawwaha

8 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him.

8 Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha

9 Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself (i.e. obeys and performs all that Allah ordered, by following the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds).

9 Qad aflaha man zakkaha

10 And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e. disobeys what Allah has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds).

10 Waqad khaba man dassaha

11 Thamud (people) denied (their Prophet) through their transgression (by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism, and by following polytheism, and by committing every kind of sin).

11 Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha

12 When the most wicked man among them went forth (to kill the she-camel).

12 Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha

13 But the Messenger of Allah [Salih عليه السلام] said to them: "Be cautious! (Fear the evil end). That is the she-camel of Allah! (Do not harm it) and bar it not from having its drink!"

13 Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha

14 Then they denied him and they killed it. So their Lord destroyed them because of their sin, and made them equal in destruction (i.e. all grades of people, rich and poor, strong and weak, etc.)!

14 Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha

15 And He (Allah) feared not the consequences thereof.

15 Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha
