وَٱلشَّمۡسِ
wal-shamsi
By the sun
وَضُحَىٰهَا
waduhaha
and its brightness
١
By the sun in its morning brightness
Translation 1260
By the sun in its morning brightness
Translation 1260
and by the moon as it follows it
Translation 1260
by the day as it displays the sun’s glory
Translation 1260
and by the night as it conceals it
Translation 1260
by the sky and how He built it
Translation 1260
and by the earth and how He spread it
Translation 1260
by the soul and how He formed it
Translation 1260
and inspired it [to know] its own rebellion and piety
Translation 1260
The one who purifies his soul succeeds
Translation 1260
and the one who corrupts it fails
Translation 1260
In their arrogant cruelty, the people of Thamud called [their messenger] a liar
Translation 1260
when the most wicked man among them rose [against him]
Translation 1260
The messenger of God said to them, ‘[Leave] God’s camel to drink,’
Translation 1260
but they called him a liar and hamstrung her. Their Lord destroyed them for their crime and levelled them
Translation 1260
He did not hesitate to punish them
Translation 1260
