Read Surah Ash-Shams

وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا ﴿١﴾

By the sun and its brightness

وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا ﴿٢﴾

And [by] the moon when it follows it

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا ﴿٣﴾

And [by] the day when it displays it

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا ﴿٤﴾

And [by] the night when it covers it

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا ﴿٥﴾

And [by] the sky and He who constructed it

وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا ﴿٦﴾

And [by] the earth and He who spread it

وَنَفْسٍۢ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا ﴿٧﴾

And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا ﴿٨﴾

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

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا ﴿٩﴾

He has succeeded who purifies it,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا ﴿١٠﴾

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

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ ﴿١١﴾

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

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا ﴿١٢﴾

When the most wretched of them was sent forth.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَـٰهَا ﴿١٣﴾

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

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا ﴿١٤﴾

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].

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَـٰهَا ﴿١٥﴾

And He does not fear the consequence thereof.
