In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. |

Success depends on keeping the soul pure and failure depends on corrupting it
|
1 |
By the sun and its brightness, |
||
| 2 |
and the moon as it follows it,1 |
|||
| 3 |
and the day as it unveils it, |
|||
| 4 |
and the night as it conceals it! |
|||
| 5 |
And by heaven and ˹the One˺ Who built it, |
|||
| 6 |
and the earth and ˹the One˺ Who spread it! |
|||
| 7 |
And by the soul and ˹the One˺ Who fashioned it, |
|||
| 8 |
then with ˹the knowledge of˺ right and wrong inspired it! |
|||
| 9 |
Successful indeed is the one who purifies their soul, |
|||
| 10 |
and doomed is the one who corrupts it! |
|||
|
People of Thamud who corrupted, were levelled to the ground
|
11 |
Thamûd rejected ˹the truth˺ out of arrogance, |
||
| 12 |
when the most wicked of them was roused ˹to kill the she-camel˺. |
|||
| 13 |
But the messenger of Allah warned them, “˹Do not disturb˺ Allah’s camel and her ˹turn to˺ drink!” |
|||
| 14 |
Still they defied him and slaughtered her. So their Lord crushed them for their crime, levelling all to the ground.1 |
|||
| 15 |
He has no fear of consequences. |
