بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحٰيهَاۙۖ1
By the sun in its morning brightness
وَالْقَمَرِ اِذَا تَلٰيهَاۙۖ2
and by the moon as it follows it
وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا جَلّٰيهَاۙۖ3
by the day as it displays the sun’s glory
وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا يَغْشٰيهَاۙۖ4
and by the night as it conceals it
وَالسَّمَٓاءِ وَمَا بَنٰيهَاۙۖ5
by the sky and how He built it
وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا طَحٰيهَاۙۖ6
and by the earth and how He spread it
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوّٰيهَاۙۖ7
by the soul and how He formed it
فَاَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوٰيهَاۙۖ8
and inspired it [to know] its own rebellion and piety
قَدْ اَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكّٰيهَاۙۖ9
The one who purifies his soul succeeds
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ دَسّٰيهَاۜ10
and the one who corrupts it fails
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوٰيهَاۙۖ11
In their arrogant cruelty, the people of Thamud called [their messenger] a liar
اِذِ انْبَعَثَ اَشْقٰيهَاۙۖ12
when the most wicked man among them rose [against him]
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ نَاقَةَ اللّٰهِ وَسُقْيٰيهَا۠13
The messenger of God said to them, ‘[Leave] God’s camel to drink,’
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَاۙۖ فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِذَنْبِهِمْ فَسَوّٰيهَاۙۖ14
but they called him a liar and hamstrung her. Their Lord destroyed them for their crime and levelled them
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبٰيهَا15
He did not hesitate to punish them
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا يَغْشٰىۙ1
By the enshrouding night
وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا تَجَلّٰىۙ2
by the radiant day
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْاُنْثٰىۙ3
by His creation of male and female
اِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتّٰىۜ4
The ways you take differ greatly
فَاَمَّا مَنْ اَعْطٰى وَاتَّقٰىۙ5
There is the one who gives, who is mindful of God
وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنٰىۙ6
who testifies to goodness––
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرٰىۜ7
We shall smooth his way towards ease
وَاَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنٰىۙ8
There is the one who is miserly, who is self-satisfied
وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنٰىۙ9
who denies goodness––
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرٰىۜ10
We shall smooth his way towards hardship
وَمَا يُغْن۪ي عَنْهُ مَالُهُٓ اِذَا تَرَدّٰىۜ11
and his wealth will not help him as he falls
اِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدٰىۘ12
Our part is to provide guidance––
وَاِنَّ لَنَا لَلْاٰخِرَةَ وَالْاُو۫لٰى13
this world and the next belong to Us––
فَاَنْذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظّٰىۚ14
so I warn you about the raging Fire
