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
