وَالشَّمۡسِ وَضُحٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

By the sun and its brightness

وَالۡقَمَرِ اِذَا تَلٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the moon when it follows it

وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا جَلّٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the day when it displays it

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا يَغۡشٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the night when it covers it

وَالسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the sky and He who constructed it

وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the earth and He who spread it

وَنَفۡسٍ وَّمَا سَوّٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

فَاَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُوۡرَهَا وَتَقۡوٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness

قَدۡ اَفۡلَحَ مَنۡ زَكّٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

He has succeeded who purifies it

وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَنۡ دَسّٰىهَاؕ‏

And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُوۡدُ بِطَغۡوٰىهَا٘ۙࣕ‏

Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression

اِذِ انۭۡ بَعَثَ اَشۡقٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

When the most wretched of them was sent forth

فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُوۡلُ اللّٰهِ نَاقَةَ اللّٰهِ وَسُقۡيٰهَاؕ‏

And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink

فَكَذَّبُوۡهُ فَعَقَرُوۡهَا ࣢ۙࣕ فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ بِذَنۭۡ بِهِمۡ فَسَوّٰىهَاۙࣕ‏

But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them]

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبٰهَاࣖ‏

And He does not fear the consequence thereof

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا يَغۡشٰيۙ‏

By the night when it covers

وَالنَّهَارِ اِذَا تَجَلّٰيۙ‏

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالۡاُنۡثٰ٘يۙ‏

And [by] He who created the male and female

اِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتّٰيؕ‏

Indeed, your efforts are diverse

فَاَمَّا مَنۡ اَعۡطٰي وَاتَّقٰيۙ‏

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِالۡحُسۡنٰيۙ‏

And believes in the best [reward]

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهٗ لِلۡيُسۡرٰيؕ‏

We will ease him toward ease

وَاَمَّا مَنۭۡ بَخِلَ وَاسۡتَغۡنٰيۙ‏

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَكَذَّبَ بِالۡحُسۡنٰيۙ‏

And denies the best [reward]

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهٗ لِلۡعُسۡرٰيؕ‏

We will ease him toward difficulty

وَمَا يُغۡنِيۡ عَنۡهُ مَالُهٗ٘ اِذَا تَرَدّٰيؕ‏

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls

اِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدٰيؗۖ‏

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance

وَاِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡاٰخِرَةَ وَالۡاُوۡلٰي

And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life]

فَاَنۡذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارًا تَلَظّٰيۚ‏

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing
