Ayat 1–15

وَالشَّمۡسِ وَضُحٰٮهَاۙ ۝١

91:1By the sun and his brightness,

وَالۡقَمَرِ اِذَا تَلٰٮهَاۙ ۝٢

91:2And the moon when she followeth him,

وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا جَلّٰٮهَاۙ ۝٣

91:3And the day when it revealeth him,

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا يَغۡشٰٮهَاۙ ۝٤

91:4And the night when it enshroudeth him,

وَالسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنٰٮهَاۙ ۝٥

91:5And the heaven and Him Who built it,

وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحٰٮهَاۙ ۝٦

91:6And the earth and Him Who spread it,

وَنَفۡسٍ وَّمَا سَوّٰٮهَاۙ ۝٧

91:7And a soul and Him Who perfected it

فَاَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُوۡرَهَا وَتَقۡوٰٮهَاۙ ۝٨

91:8And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.

قَدۡ اَفۡلَحَ مَنۡ زَكّٰٮهَاۙ ۝٩

91:9He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,

وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَنۡ دَسّٰٮهَاؕ ۝١٠

91:10And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُوۡدُ بِطَغۡوٰٮهَآۙ ۝١١

91:11(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,

اِذِ انۡۢبَعَثَ اَشۡقٰٮهَا ۙ ۝١٢

91:12When the basest of them broke forth

فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُوۡلُ اللّٰهِ نَاقَةَ اللّٰهِ وَسُقۡيٰهَاؕ ۝١٣

91:13And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!

فَكَذَّبُوۡهُ فَعَقَرُوۡهَاࣙۙ فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ بِذَنۡۢبِهِمۡ فَسَوّٰٮهَاۙ ۝١٤

91:14But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and razed (their dwellings).

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبٰهَا ۝١٥

91:15He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
