ASY SYAMS

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

91-1

By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;

91-2

By the Moon as she follows him;

91-3

By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;

91-4

By the Night as it conceals it;

91-5

By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;

91-6

By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:

91-7

By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;

91-8

And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-

91-9

Truly he succeeds that purifies it,

91-10

And he fails that corrupts it!

91-11

The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing,

91-12

Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).

91-13

But the Apostle of God said to them: "It is a She-camel of God! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"

91-14

Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!

91-15

And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
