In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. [1] By the Sun and its (glorious) splendour;
[2] By the Moon as it follows (the Sun);
[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.
