1By the sun and its brightness2And [by] the moon when it follows it3And [by] the day when it displays it4And [by] the night when it covers it5And [by] the sky and He who constructed it6And [by] the earth and He who spread it7And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it8And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,9He has succeeded who purifies it,10And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].11Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,12When the most wretched of them was sent forth.13And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."14But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].15And He does not fear the consequence thereof.
