سُورَةُ الشَّمۡسِ
The Sun
91:1
وَٱلشَّمۡسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا ١
By the Sun and its [glorious] splendour [during the day];
91:2
وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا ٢
and the Moon as it follows it [the Sun];
91:3
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا ٣
and the Day as it shows up [the Sun’s] glory;
91:4
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰهَا ٤
and the Night as it conceals it [the Sun’s glory];
91:5
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا ٥
and the Firmament and its [wonderful] structure;
91:6
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا ٦
and the Earth and its [wide] expanse:
91:7
وَنَفۡسٖ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا ٧
and the Soul, and the [due] proportion [and order] given to it;
91:8
فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا ٨
and its inspiration as to the wrong and the right;1
91:9
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا ٩
Truly, he succeeds that purifies it [his soul];
91:10
وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا ١٠
and he fails that corrupts it [soul]!
91:11
كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِطَغۡوَىٰهَآ ١١
The Thamūd1[people] disbelieved [their Prophet] out of their rebellion,
91:12
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشۡقَىٰهَا ١٢
when the most wicked [man] among them came forward.
91:13
فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقۡيَٰهَا ١٣
So the Messenger of Allāh said to them: “[It is] a she-camel of Allāh! So [take care of] her drink!”
91:14
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسَوَّىٰهَا ١٤
[But] they disbelieved him, and they slaughtered her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them.
91:15
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبَٰهَا ١٥
And He fears not its consequences.
