Sura 91

Surah 91. The Sun

91:1. By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;
91:2. By the Moon as she follows him;
91:3. By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;
91:4. By the Night as it conceals it;
91:5. By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;
91:6. By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:
91:7. By the Soul/Being, and the proportion and order given to it;
91:8. And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-
91:9. Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
91:10. And he fails that corrupts it!
91:11. The Thamud (people) rejected (their Prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing.
91:12. Behold, the most wicked man among them was appointed (for impiety).
91:13. But the Messenger of "I AM" said to them: "It is a She-camel of God! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"
91:14. Then 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)!
91:15. And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
