Surah Ash-Shams ( The Sun ) - Aya count 15

وَٱلشَّمۡسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا ﰀ ﴿١﴾

By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;

وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا ﰁ ﴿٢﴾

By the Moon as she follows him;

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا ﰂ ﴿٣﴾

By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰهَا ﰃ ﴿٤﴾

By the Night as it conceals it;

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا ﰄ ﴿٥﴾

By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;

وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا ﰅ ﴿٦﴾

By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:

وَنَفۡسٖ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا ﰆ ﴿٧﴾

By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;

فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا ﰇ ﴿٨﴾

And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا ﰈ ﴿٩﴾

Truly he succeeds that purifies it,

وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا ﰉ ﴿١٠﴾

And he fails that corrupts it!

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِطَغۡوَىٰهَآ ﰊ ﴿١١﴾

The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing,

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشۡقَىٰهَا ﰋ ﴿١٢﴾

Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).

فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقۡيَٰهَا ﰌ ﴿١٣﴾

But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسَوَّىٰهَا ﰍ ﴿١٤﴾

Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبَٰهَا ﰎ ﴿١٥﴾

And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
