Surah 91: Ash-Shams سُورَةُ الشَّمۡسِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا 1

¹By the sun and his brightness,

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا 2

²And the moon when she followeth him,

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا 3

³And the day when it revealeth him,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا 4

⁴And the night when it enshroudeth him,

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا 5

⁵And the heaven and Him Who built it,

وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا 6

⁶And the earth and Him Who spread it,

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا 7

⁷And a soul and Him Who perfected it

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا 8

⁸And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا 9

⁹He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا 10

¹⁰And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ 11

¹¹(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا 12

¹²When the basest of them broke forth

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا 13

¹³And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا 14

¹⁴But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا 15

¹⁵He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
