BY THE sun and his midday brightness
by the moon, when she rises after him
by the day, when it reveals his splendour
by the night, when it veils him
By the heaven and Him that built it
by the earth and Him that spread it
by the soul and Him that moulded it and inspired i
with knowledge of sin and piety
blessed shall be he that has kept it pure
and ruined he that has corrupted it
In its presumptuous pride Thamūd denied their apostle
when its arch-sinner rose against him
God‘s apostle said: ‘This is God‘s own she-camel. Let her drink.‘
They disbelieved him, and hamstrung her. And for their sin their Lord let loose His scourge upon them and razed their city to the ground
He did not fear the consequences
