The Sun

  • بِسْمِ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

  • وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا

    1 By the sun and its morning brightness!

  • وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا

    2 And by the moon when it follows it!

  • وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا

    3 And by the day when it reveals it!

  • وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا

    4 And by the night when it covers it!

  • وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا

    5 And by the sky and Him that built it!

  • وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا

    6 And by the earth and Him that extended it!

  • وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا

    7 And by a soul and Him that fashioned it,

  • فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا

    8 And inspired it with its immorality and its prudent fear!

  • قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا

    9 He has succeeded who increased it in purity,

  • وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا

    10 And he has failed who buried it

  • كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ

    11 (Thamūd denied in its transgression

  • إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا

    12 When its most wretched was sent forth.

  • فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّـهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّـهِ وَسُقْيَـٰهَا

    13 The messenger of God said to them: “The she-camel of God — let her drink.”

  • فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا

    14 Then they denied him, and hamstrung her; and their Lord destroyed them for their transgression, and He levelled them.)

  • وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَـٰهَا

    15 And fears not its final outcome.
