091 : The Sun

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 Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She−camel of Allah! 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. −− 091 : The Sun −−
