Revealed before the Hijrah. This chapter has 15 verses.
In the name of God,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful
| 91:1 | By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour; |
| 91:2 | By the Moon as she follows him; |
| 91:3 | By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory; |
| 91:4 | By the Night as it conceals it; |
| 91:5 | By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure; |
| 91:6 | By the Earth and its (wide) expanse: |
| 91:7 | By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; |
| 91:8 | And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;- |
| 91:9 | Truly he succeeds that purifies it, |
| 91:10 | And he fails that corrupts it! |
| 91:11 | The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing, |
| 91:12 | Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety). |
| 91:13 | But the Apostle of God said to them: "It is a She-camel of God! And (bar her not from) having her drink!" |
| 91:14 | 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)! |
| 91:15 | And for Him is no fear of its consequences. |
