# Translation Ayah
1 I swear by the sun and its brilliance, وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا
2 And the moon when it follows the sun, وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا
3 And the day when it shows it, وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا
4 And the night when it draws a veil over it, وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا
5 And the heaven and Him Who made it, وَالسَّمَاء وَمَا بَنَاهَا
6 And the earth and Him Who extended it, وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا
7 And the soul and Him Who made it perfect, وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
8 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
9 He will indeed be successful who purifies it, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا
10 And he will indeed fail who corrupts it. وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا
11 Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy, كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَاهَا
12 When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا
13 So Allah´s messenger said to them (Leave alone) Allah´s she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقْيَاهَا
14 But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground). فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاهَا
15 And He fears not its consequence. وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا
