By the sun and its morning brightness,
and the moon when it follows it,
and the day when it displays it,
and the night when it conceals it
and the sky and what erected it
and the earth and what extended it.
and the self and what proportioned it
and inspired it with depravity or taqwa,
he who purifies it has succeeded,
he who covers it up has failed.
Thamud denied in their excessive tyranny —
when the worst of them rushed ahead,
and the Messenger of Allah had said to them, ´This is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!´
But they denied him and they hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin and flattened them.
And He does not fear the consequences.
