By the sun and its noonday brightness
And the moon when it follows him
And the day when it displays him
And the night when it covers him
And the wondrous structure of the heavens and Him who built it
And the earth and Who spread it
And the soul and Who fashioned it
And enlightened it with what is wrong and right for it
He indeed is successful who causes it to grow (or purifies it)
And he indeed is a failure who corrupts it
The Thamud people denied (the Messenger) in their rebellious pride (or outrage)
When the basest of them rose u
And the Messenger of Allah (Salih) said to them, "(This is) Allah´s she-camel! So give her to drink."
But they called him a liar, and they ham-strung her; so their Lord destroyed them in their sins, and served them all alike
And He fears not the result thereof
