In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent,
the Merciful.

I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
[91.2]
And the moon when it follows the sun,
[91.3]
And the day when it shows it,
[91.4]
And the night when it draws a veil over it,
[91.5]
And the heaven and Him Who made it,
[91.6]
And the earth and Him Who extended it,
[91.7]
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
[91.8]
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;
[91.9]
He will indeed be successful who purifies it,
[91.10]
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
[91.11]
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
[91.12]
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with 13 So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel,
and (give) her (to) drink.
[91.14]
But they called him a liar and slaughtered her,
therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground).
[91.15]
And He fears not its consequence.
