By the sun

and its brightness

And the moon

when

it follows it

And the day

when

it displays it

And the night

when

it covers it

And the heaven

and (He) Who

constructed it

And the earth

and by (He) Who

spread it

And (the) soul

and (He) Who

proportioned it

And He inspired it

(to distinguish) its wickedness

and its righteousness

Indeed

he succeeds

who

purifies it

And indeed

he fails

who

buries it

Denied

Thamud

by their transgression

When

(was) sent forth

(the) most wicked of them

But said

to them

(the) Messenger

(of) Allah

(It is the) she-camel

(of) Allah

and her drink

But they denied him

and they hamstrung her

So destroyed

them

their Lord

for their sin

and leveled them

And not

He fears

its consequences
