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