Translation, verse by verse 91:1 By the sun and her forenoon splendour,
91:2 by the moon when he follows her,
91:3 by the day when it reveals her,
91:4 by the night when it covers her,
91:5 by the sky and Him who built it,
91:6 by the earth and Him who spread it,
91:7 by the soul and Him who fashioned it,
91:8 and inspired it with [discernment between] its virtues and vices:
91:9 one who purifies it is felicitous,
91:10 and one who betrays it fails.
91:11 The [people of] Thamud denied [Allah’s signs] out of their rebellion,
91:12 when the most wretched of them rose up.
91:13 The apostle of Allah had told them, ‘This is Allah’s she-camel, let her drink!’
91:14 But they impugned him and hamstrung her. So their Lord took them unawares by night because of their sin, and levelled it.
91:15 And He does not fear its outcome.
