| Surah 91. Ash-Shams | |||
| 1 | By the sun and his brightness, | ||
| 2 | And the moon when she followeth him, | ||
| 3 | And the day when it revealeth him, | ||
| 4 | And the night when it enshroudeth him, | ||
| 5 | And the heaven and Him who built it, | ||
| 6 | And the earth and Him who spread it, | ||
| 7 | And a soul and Him who perfected it | ||
| 8 | And inspired it ( with conscience of ) what is wrong for it and ( what is ) right for it. | ||
| 9 | He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow, | ||
| 10 | And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it. | ||
| 11 | ( The tribe of ) Thamud denied ( the truth ) in their rebellious pride. | ||
| 12 | When the basest of them broke forth | ||
| 13 | And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she camel of Allah, so let her drink! | ||
| 14 | But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and razed ( their dwellings ). | ||
| 15 | He dreadeth not the sequel ( of events ). | ||
