Surah Ash-Shams

 

Surah Ash-Shams

 

In The Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

And by the sun and its brightness; (Quran Surah Ash-Shams 91:1)

 

And by the moon as it follows it (the sun); (Quran Surah Ash-Shams 91:2)

 

And by the day as it shows up (the sun's) brightness; (Quran Surah Ash-Shams 91:3)

 

And by the night as it conceals it (the sun); (Quran Surah Ash-Shams 91:4)

 

And by the heaven and Him Who built it; (Quran 91:5)

 

And by the earth and Him Who spread it, (Quran 91:6)

 

And by Nafs (Adam or a person or a soul, etc.), and Him Who perfected him in proportion; (Quran 91:7)

 

Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; (Quran 91:8)

 

Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself (i.e. obeys and performs all that Allah ordered, by following the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds). (Quran 91:9)

 

And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e. disobeys what Allah has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism, etc. or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds). (Quran 91:10)

 

Thamud (people) denied (their Prophet) through their transgression (by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism, and by following polytheism, and by committing every kind of sin). (Quran 91:11)

 

When the most wicked man among them went forth (to kill the she-camel). (Quran 91:12)

 

But the Messenger of Allah [Salih (Saleh) ] said to them: "Be cautious! Fear the evil end. That is the she-camel of Allah! (Do not harm it) and bar it not from having its drink!" (Quran 91:13)

 

Then they denied him and they killed it. So their Lord destroyed them because of their sin, and made them equal in destruction (i.e. all grades of people, rich and poor, strong and weak, etc.)! (Quran 91:14)

 

And He (Allah) feared not the consequences thereof. (Quran 91:15)
