Yusuf Ali
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;
Yusuf Ali
By the Moon as she follows him;
Yusuf Ali
By the Day as it shows up (the Sun´s) glory;
Yusuf Ali
By the Night as it conceals it;
Yusuf Ali
By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;
Yusuf Ali
By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:
Yusuf Ali
By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;
Yusuf Ali
And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;-
Yusuf Ali
Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
Yusuf Ali
And he fails that corrupts it!
Yusuf Ali
The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing,
Yusuf Ali
Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).
Yusuf Ali
But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"
Yusuf Ali
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)!
Yusuf Ali
And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
