Surah Shams in Arabic with English Translation
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلشَّمۡسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا ١
By the sun and his brightness,
وَٱلۡقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا ٢
And the moon when she followeth him,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا ٣
And the day when it revealeth him,
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰهَا ٤
And the night when it enshroudeth him,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا ٥
And the heaven and Him Who built it,
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا ٦
And the earth and Him Who spread it,
وَنَفۡسٖ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا ٧
And a soul and Him Who perfected it
فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا ٨
And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا ٩
He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,
وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا ١٠
And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.
كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِطَغۡوَىٰهَآ ١١
(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشۡقَىٰهَا ١٢
When the basest of them broke forth
فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقۡيَٰهَا ١٣
And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسَوَّىٰهَا ١٤
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبَٰهَا ١٥
He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
