91:1 | | Witness is the Sun and its radiant splendor | 91:2 | | And the Moon that borrows its light | 91:3 | | Witness is the day as it brightens the world | 91:4 | | And the night that cloaks it | 91:5 | | And the sky and its wondrous design | 91:6 | | And the earth and its vast expanse | 91:7 | | Consider the human 'Self, and how it is capable for being balanced out | 91:8 | | And how it is instilled with the capacity to disintegrate or become secure | 91:9 | | Successful indeed is he who grows the 'Self' | 91:10 | | And failure is indeed he who keeps it buried (under ignorance and superstition) | 91:11 | | (Disregarding this principle) Thamud rejected (Saleh) while playing God. ('Tagha' = Being 'Taghut' = Becoming a false god = Playing God = Transgressing = Rebelling = Crossing bounds of decency = Extreme arrogance) | 91:12 | | Behold, the most forward among them was picked up for defiance | 91:13 | | Although Allah's Messenger had told them, "It is a she-camel belonging to Allah, so let her drink!" (The land belongs to Allah, and this she-camel represents the weak among you (7:73), (26:155)) | 91:14 | | But they denied him and they killed her. Their Lord then doomed them all alike for their lagging behind in compliance | 91:15 | | For none of them had any fear of what might befall them |
