91 Surah Ash-Shams – The Sun
In the name of Allah, the entirely Merciful, the especially Merciful
- 1) Allah swears by the sun and it’s brightness
- 2) And the moon as it follows the sun
- 3) and by the day when it shows the sun’s brightness,
- 4) And by the night when it hides the sun’s brightness
- 5) and by the sky, and the One who built it,
- 6) and by the earth, and the One who spread it,
- 7) and by the soul, and the One who made it well,
- 8) Then He showed the soul of men what is wrong for him and what is right for him.
- 9) The men who clean their souls of sins and evil are successful
- 10) and doomed are those who pollute their souls with sins and evil
- 11) The people of Thamud rejected the Truth and disbelieved in Allah because they were arrogant and proud.
- 12) When the most wicked of them went˹to kill the she-camel˺.
- 13) But the messenger of Allah warned them, “˹Do not disturb˺ Allah’s camel and let her drink from the water at her turn!”
- 14) Still they did not listen to him and slaughtered Allah’s she-camel. So Allah crushed them for their crime, levelling all to the ground.
- 15) And Allah does not fear anyone.
