91. Ash-Shams - The Sun
| 1 | By the sun and his morning brightness |
| 2 | and by the moon when she follows him, |
| 3 | and by the day when it displays him |
| 4 | and by the night when it enshrouds him! |
| 5 | By the heaven and That which built it |
| 6 | and by the earth and That which extended it! |
| 7 | By the soul, and That which shaped it |
| 8 | and inspired it to lewdness and godfearing! |
| 9 | Prosperous is he who purifies it, |
| 10 | and failed has he who seduces it. |
| 11 | Thamood cried lies in their insolence |
| 12 | when the most wretched of them uprose, |
| 13 | then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' |
| 14 | But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them: |
| 15 | and He fears not the issue thereof. |
