In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and his brightness * 1
And the moon when she followeth him * 2
And the day when it revealeth him * 3
And the night when it enshroudeth him * 4
And the heaven and Him who built it * 5
And the earth and Him who spread it * 6
And a soul and Him who perfected it * 7
And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it * 8
He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow * 9
And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it * 10
(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride * 11
When the basest of them broke forth * 12
And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she camel of Allah, so let her drink * 13
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and razed (their dwellings) * 14
He dreadeth not the sequel (of events) * 15
