By the sun and its brightness
And by the moon as it reflects it [brightness of the Sun]
And by the day, when it displays it [brightness of the Sun]
And by the night, when it veils it [brightness of the Sun]
And by the sky and what it constitutes,
And by the earth and what makes it spread [prolong] its existence
And by the soul and what shapes it
Then inspired it with knowledge of what is wrong for it and what is right
Certainly, the one who keeps it [soul] pure is successful
And, certainly, the one who corrupts it is ruined
The people of Thamood denied the Truth by committing transgression
When the most wicked man among them came forward [to disobey divine directive]
Allah's Messenger had then warned them about Allah's she-camel and her [allotted time of] drink
But they rejected him, and crippled her. For this sin of theirs, their Lord let loose His anger upon them, and razed their dwellings to the ground
And He has not to be afraid of its consequences
