Ash-Shams - Read Quran
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
