91. Ash-Shams سُورَةُ الشَّمۡسِ
Yusuf AliBy the Sun and his (glorious) splendour
Yusuf AliBy the Moon as she follows him
Yusuf AliBy the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory
Yusuf AliBy the Night as it conceals it
Yusuf AliBy the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure
Yusuf AliBy the Earth and its (wide) expanse
Yusuf AliBy the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it
Yusuf AliAnd its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right
Yusuf AliTruly he succeeds that purifies it
Yusuf AliAnd he fails that corrupts it
Yusuf AliThe Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing
Yusuf AliBehold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety)
Yusuf AliBut the Apostle of God said to them: "It is a She-camel of God! And (bar her not from) having her drink
Yusuf AliThen they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)
Yusuf AliAnd for Him is no fear of its consequences
