By the Sun\n And his (glorious) splendour;\n2. By the Moon\n As she follows him;\n3. By the Day as it\n Shows up (the Sun's) glory;\n4. By the Night as it\n Conceals it;\n5. By the Firmament\n And its (wonderful) structure;\n6. By the Earth\n And its (wide) expanse;\n7. By the Soul,\n And the proportion and order\n Given to it;\n8. Faalhamaha fujooraha wataqwaha\n8. And its enlightenment\n As to its wrong\n And its right;\u2014\n9. Truly he succeeds\n That purifies it,\n10. And he fails\n That corrupts it!\n11. Kaththabat thamoodu bitaghwaha\n11. The Tham\u016bd (people)\n Rejected (their prophet)\n Through their inordinate\n Wrong-doing.\n12. Behold, the most wicked\n Man among them was\n Deputed (for impiety).\n13. Faqala lahum rasoolu Allahi naqata Allahi wasuqyaha\n13. But the apostle of God\n Said to them: \"It is\nA She-camel of God!\n And (bar her not\n From) having her drink!\"\n14. Fakaththaboohu faAAaqarooha fadamdama AAalayhim rabbuhum bithanbihim fasawwaha\n14. Then they rejected him\n (As a false prophet),\n And they hamstrung her.\n So their Lord, on account\n Of their crime, obliterated\n Their traces and made them\n Equal (in destruction,\n High and low)!\n15. And for Him\n Is no fear\n Of its consequences.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XCI.: Shams, or The Sun.: Section 1 ...","type":"page"}
