0:00 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
0:05 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:09 By the sun and its brightness,
0:12 and by the moon as it follows it,
0:15 and by the day as it reveals it,
0:19 and by the night as it conceals it,
0:22 and by the heaven and He who constructed it,
0:27 and by the earth and He who spread it,
0:30 and by soul and He who proportioned it,
0:34 and inspired it with [discernment of] its wickedness and its piety,
0:38 “He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,” (91:9)
0:43 “And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.” (91:10)
0:46 Thamud denied [the truth] through their transgression.
0:50 When the most wretched of them rose forth.
0:54 “And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!” (91:13)
0:59 But they denied him and hamstrung her;
1:02 So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin,
1:05 and made it equal [in devastation].
1:08 And He does not fear its consequence.
