Surah Ash-Shams

وَاَلشَّمۡسِ وَضُحٜ ىٰهَا

(I swear) by the sun and its radiant light

وَاَلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلٜ ىٰهَا

And the moon that trails (and reflects) its light

وَاَلنَّه۪ارِ إِذَا جَلّٜ ىٰهَا

By the day that reveals (the sun)

وَاَلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشٜ ىٰهَا

And the night that veils it

وَاَلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنٜ ىٰهَا

(I swear) by the sky, and (by) Him Who made it

وَاَلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحٜ ىٰهَا

And (by) the earth, and (by) Him Who spread it

وَنَفۡسࣲ وَمَا سَوّٜ ىٰهَا

By the soul, and by Him Who perfected it

فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوٜ ىٰهَا

Then, inspired in it the (conscience, the sense of) wrong and right

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكّٜ ىٰهَا

Successful is the one, who (nurtured and) purified (his soul)

وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسّٜ ىٰهَا

A (dismal) failure is the one who (suppressed and) debased (his soul)

كَذَّبَت ثَّمُودُ بِطَغۡوٜ ىٰهَآ

The (people of) ´Samood´ denied (the truth) with utter arrogance

إِذِ اِ۪نۢبَعَثَ أَشۡقٜ ىٰهَا

The meanest among them was dispatched

فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُولُ اُ۬للَّهِ نَاقَةَ اَ۬للَّهِ وَسُقۡيٰٜهَا

(Against) the messenger of Allah (who) warned them saying, "(Do not attack) this camel of Allah; let it (roam and) drink (freely)

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسَوّٜ ىٰهَا

But they refused, and slashed its hamstring. Therefore, as a consequence of their sins, their Lord destroyed them completely; He totally demolished their dwellings

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبٰٜهَا

For He does not fear (any) consequence
