# Translation Ayah
1 By the sun and her forenoon splendour, وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا
2 by the moon when he follows her, وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا
3 by the day when it reveals her, وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا
4 by the night when it covers her, وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا
5 by the sky and Him who built it, وَالسَّمَاء وَمَا بَنَاهَا
6 by the earth and Him who spread it, وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا
7 by the soul and Him who fashioned it, وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
8 and inspired it with [discernment between] its virtues and vices: فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
9 one who purifies it is felicitous, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا
10 and one who betrays it fails. وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا
11 The [people of] Thamud denied [Allah’s signs] out of their rebellion, كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَاهَا
12 when the most wretched of them rose up. إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا
13 The apostle of Allah had told them, ‘This is Allah’s she-camel, let her drink!’ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقْيَاهَا
14 But they impugned him and hamstrung her. So their Lord took them unawares by night because of their sin, and levelled it. فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاهَا
15 And He does not fear its outcome. وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا
