91. Surah Ash-Shams
The Sun

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

By the sun and its morning brightness!

وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحٰيهَاۙۖ

Washshamsi waduhaha

And by the moon when it follows it!

وَالْقَمَرِ اِذَا تَلٰيهَاۙۖ

Walqamari itha talaha

And by the day when it reveals it!

وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا جَلّٰيهَاۙۖ

Wannahari itha jallaha

And by the night when it covers it!

وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا يَغْشٰيهَاۙۖ

Wallayli itha yaghshaha

And by the sky and Him that built it!

وَالسَّمَٓاءِ وَمَا بَنٰيهَاۙۖ

Wassama-i wama banaha

And by the earth and Him that extended it!

وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا طَحٰيهَاۙۖ

Wal-ardi wama tahaha

And by a soul and Him that fashioned it,

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوّٰيهَاۙۖ

Wanafsin wama sawwaha

And inspired it with its immorality and its prudent fear!

فَاَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوٰيهَاۙۖ

Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha

He has succeeded who increased it in purity,

قَدْ اَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكّٰيهَاۙۖ

Qad aflaha man zakkaha

And he has failed who buried it

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ دَسّٰيهَاۜ

Waqad khaba man dassaha

(Thamūd denied in its transgression

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوٰيهَاۙۖ

Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha

When its most wretched was sent forth.

اِذِ انْبَعَثَ اَشْقٰيهَاۙۖ

Ithi inbaAAatha ashqaha

The messenger of God said to them: “The she-camel of God — let her drink.”

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ نَاقَةَ اللّٰهِ وَسُقْيٰيهَا۠

Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqataAllahi wasuqyaha

Then they denied him, and hamstrung her; and their Lord destroyed them for their transgression, and He levelled them.)

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَاۙۖ فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِذَنْبِهِمْ فَسَوّٰيهَاۙۖ

Fakaththaboohu faAAaqaroohafadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha

And fears not its final outcome.

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبٰيهَا

Wala yakhafu AAuqbaha
