بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَـٰهَا ١
By the sun and its brightness
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَـٰهَا ٢
And [by] the moon when it follows it
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّـٰهَا ٣
And [by] the day when it displays it
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَـٰهَا ٤
And [by] the night when it covers it
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَـٰهَا ٥
And [by] the sky and He who constructed it
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَـٰهَا ٦
And [by] the earth and He who spread it
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّٮٰهَا ٧
And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَٮٰهَا ٨
And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّـٰهَا ٩
He has succeeded who purifies it,
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّـٰهَا ١٠
And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَٮٰهَآ ١١
Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَـٰهَا ١٢
When the most wretched of them was sent forth.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَـٰهَا ١٣
And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, ""[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink.""
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّٮٰهَا ١٤
But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَـٰهَا ١٥
And He does not fear the consequence thereof.
