By the sun in its morning brightnes
and by the moon as it follows it
by the day as it displays the sun’s glor
and by the night as it conceals it
by the sky and how He built i
and by the earth and how He spread it
by the soul and how He formed i
and inspired it [to know] its own rebellion and piety
The one who purifies his soul succeed
and the one who corrupts it fails
In their arrogant cruelty, the people of Thamud called [their messenger] a liar
when the most wicked man among them rose [against him]
The messenger of God said to them, ‘[Leave] God’s camel to drink,’
but they called him a liar and hamstrung her. Their Lord destroyed them for their crime and levelled them
He did not hesitate to punish them
