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. |
