91:6 And [by] the earth and He who spread it

وَنَفۡسٖ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا ٧

91:7 And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا ٨

91:8 And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا ٩

91:9 He has succeeded who purifies it

وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا ١٠

91:10 And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِطَغۡوَىٰهَآ ١١

91:11 Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression

إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشۡقَىٰهَا ١٢

91:12 When the most wretched of them was sent forth

فَقَالَ لَهُمۡ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقۡيَٰهَا ١٣

91:13 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 فَدَمۡدَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمۡ فَسَوَّىٰهَا ١٤

91:14 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]

وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقۡبَٰهَا ١٥

91:15 And He does not fear the consequence thereof
