English - Chapter 91 - Ash-Shams

By the sun and its noonday brightness

And the moon when it follows him

And the night when it covers him

And the wondrous structure of the heavens and Him who built it

And the earth and Who spread it

And the soul and Who fashioned it

And enlightened it with what is wrong and right for it

He indeed is successful who causes it to grow (or purifies it)

And he indeed is a failure who corrupts it

The Thamud people denied (the Messenger) in their rebellious pride (or outrage)

When the basest of them rose up

And the Messenger of Allah (Salih) said to them, "(This is) Allah´s she-camel! So give her to drink

But they called him a liar, and they ham-strung her; so their Lord destroyed them in their sins, and served them all alike

And He fears not the result thereof
