Sorah Ash-Shams ( The Sun ) - Verses Number 15
وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا
( 1 )
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;
وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا
( 2 )
By the Moon as she follows him;
وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا
( 3 )
By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا
( 4 )
By the Night as it conceals it;
وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا
( 5 )
By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;
وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا
( 6 )
By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
( 7 )
By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
( 8 )
And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا
( 9 )
Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا
( 10 )
And he fails that corrupts it!
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَاهَا
( 11 )
The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing,
إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا
( 12 )
Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقْيَاهَا
( 13 )
But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاهَا
( 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)!
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا
( 15 )
And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
