By the sun

and its brightness

And the moon

when

it follows it

And the day

when

it displays it

And the night

when

it covers it

And the heaven

and (He) Who

constructed it

And the earth

and by (He) Who

spread it

And (the) soul

and (He) Who

proportioned it

And He inspired it

(to distinguish) its wickedness

and its righteousness

Indeed

he succeeds

who

purifies it

And indeed

he fails

who

buries it

Denied

Thamud

by their transgression

When

(was) sent forth

(the) most wicked of them

But said

to them

(the) Messenger

(of) Allah

(It is the) she-camel

(of) Allah

and her drink

But they denied him

and they hamstrung her

So destroyed

them

their Lord

for their sin

and leveled them

And not

He fears

its consequences

By the night

when

it covers

And the day

when

it shines in brightness

And He Who

created

the male

and the female

Indeed

your efforts

(are) surely diverse

Then as for

(him) who

gives

and fears

And believes

in the best

Then We will ease him

towards [the] ease

But as for

(him) who

withholds

and considers himself free from need

And denies

the best

Then We will ease him

towards [the] difficulty

And not

will avail

him

his wealth

when

he falls

Indeed

upon Us

(is) the guidance

And indeed

for Us

(is) the Hereafter

and the first (life)

So I warn you

(of) a Fire
