"Can he who was dead, to whom We gave life, and a light whereby he can walk amongst men, be like him who is in the depths of darkness, from which he can never come out?" — Holy Qur'an 6:122
Holy Quran Verses from Yusufali's Translation
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
| 091.001 | By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour; |
| 091.002 | By the Moon as she follows him; |
| 091.003 | By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory; |
| 091.004 | By the Night as it conceals it; |
| 091.005 | By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure; |
| 091.006 | By the Earth and its (wide) expanse: |
| 091.007 | By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; |
| 091.008 | And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;- |
| 091.009 | Truly he succeeds that purifies it, |
| 091.010 | And he fails that corrupts it! |
| 091.011 | The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing, |
| 091.012 | Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety). |
| 091.013 | But the Apostle of God said to them: "It is a She-camel of God! And (bar her not from) having her drink!" |
| 091.014 | 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)! |
| 091.015 | And for Him is no fear of its consequences. |
