وَٱلشَّمۡسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا ١
By the sun and its brightness,
91:1
وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا ٢
and the moon as it follows it,1
91:2
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا ٣
and the day as it unveils it,
91:3
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰهَا ٤
and the night as it conceals it!
91:4
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا ٥
And by heaven and ˹the One˺ Who built it,
91:5
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا ٦
and the earth and ˹the One˺ Who spread it!
91:6
وَنَفۡسٖ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا ٧
And by the soul and ˹the One˺ Who fashioned it,
91:7
فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا ٨
then with ˹the knowledge of˺ right and wrong inspired it!
91:8
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا ٩
Successful indeed is the one who purifies their soul,
91:9
وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا ١٠
and doomed is the one who corrupts it!
91:10
كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِطَغۡوَىٰهَآ ١١
Thamûd rejected ˹the truth˺ out of arrogance,
91:11
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشۡقَىٰهَا ١٢
when the most wicked of them was roused ˹to kill the she-camel˺.
91:12
فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقۡيَٰهَا ١٣
But the messenger of Allah warned them, “˹Do not disturb˺ Allah’s camel and her ˹turn to˺ drink!”
91:13
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسَوَّىٰهَا ١٤
Still they defied him and slaughtered her. So their Lord crushed them for their crime, levelling all to the ground.1
91:14
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبَٰهَا ١٥
He has no fear of consequences.
91:15
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ ١
By the night when it covers,
92:1
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ٢
and the day when it shines!
92:2
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ٣
And by ˹the One˺ Who created male and female!
92:3
إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ ٤
Surely the ends you strive for are diverse.
92:4
فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ٥
As for the one who is charitable, mindful ˹of Allah˺,
92:5
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٦
and ˹firmly˺ believes in the finest reward,
92:6
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ٧
We will facilitate for them the Way of Ease.
92:7
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ٨
And as for the one who is stingy, indifferent ˹to Allah˺,
92:8
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٩
and ˹staunchly˺ denies the finest reward,
92:9
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ ١٠
We will facilitate for them the path of hardship.
92:10
وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ١١
And their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they tumble ˹into Hell˺.
92:11
إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ ١٢
It is certainly upon Us ˹alone˺ to show ˹the way to˺ guidance.
92:12
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ ١٣
And surely to Us ˹alone˺ belong this life and the next.
92:13
فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارٗا تَلَظَّىٰ ١٤
And so I have warned you of a raging Fire,
92:14
