91. Ash-Shams - The Sun
| 1 | By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour; |
| 2 | By the Moon as she follows him; |
| 3 | By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory; |
| 4 | By the Night as it conceals it; |
| 5 | By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure; |
| 6 | By the Earth and its (wide) expanse: |
| 7 | By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; |
| 8 | And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;- |
| 9 | Truly he succeeds that purifies it, |
| 10 | And he fails that corrupts it! |
| 11 | The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing, |
| 12 | Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety). |
| 13 | But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!" |
| 14 | 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)! |
| 15 | And for Him is no fear of its consequences. |
