Quran ยท 15 verses

Surah 91

1 By the sun and its brightness

2 And [by] the moon when it follows it

3 And [by] the day when it displays it

4 And [by] the night when it covers it

5 And [by] the sky and He who constructed it

6 And [by] the earth and He who spread it

7 And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

8 And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,

9 He has succeeded who purifies it,

10 And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].

11 Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,

12 When the most wretched of them was sent forth.

13 And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."

14 But 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].

15 And He does not fear the consequence thereof.
