91 The Sun -Ash-Shams

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful

[91.1] By the sun and its midmorning,

[91.2] by the moon, which follows it,

[91.3] by the day, when it displays it,

[91.4] by the night, when it envelops it!

[91.5] By the heaven and Who built it,

[91.6] by the earth and Who spread it,

[91.7] by the soul and Who shaped it

[91.8] and inspired it with its sin and its piety,

[91.9] prosperous is he who purified it,

[91.10] and failed is he who buried it!

[91.11] Thamood belied in their pride

[91.12] when the most wicked of them broke forth,

[91.13] the Messenger of Allah said to them: '( This is) the shecamel of Allah, let her drink. '

[91.14] But they belied him, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin and leveled it (their village).

[91.15] He does not fear the result (of their destruction).
