17 Then he is of those who believe and exhort one another to patience, and exhort one another to mercy. |
18 These are the people of the right hand. |
19 And those who disbelieve in Our messages, they are the people of the left hand. |
20 On them is Fire closed over. |
1 By the sun and his brightness! |
2 And the moon when she borrows light from him! |
3 And the day when it exposes it to view! |
4 And the night when it draws a veil over it! |
5 And the heaven and its make! |
6 And the earth and its extension! |
7 And the soul and its perfection! — |
8 So He reveals to it its way of evil and its way of good; |
9 He is indeed successful who causes it to grow, |
10 And he indeed fails who buries it. |
11 Thamūd rejected (the truth) in their inordinacy, |
12 When the basest of them broke forth with mischief — |
13 So Allāh’s messenger said to them: (Leave alone) Allāh’s she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink. |
14 But they called him a liar and slaughtered her. So their Lord destroyed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground); |
15 And He fears not its consequence. |
