Surah 91. Ash-Shams, Ayah 1
| وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا |
| Transliteration | : | wa- ash- shams wa- d.uh.aa -haa |
| Pickthall | : | By the sun and his brightness, |
| Asad | : | CONSIDER the sun and its radiant brightness, |
| Malik | : | By the sun and its brightness; |
| Yusuf Ali | : | By the Sun and his (glorious) splendor; 6147 |
Note - 6147Six types are taken in three pairs, from Allah's mighty
works in nature, as tokens or evidence of Allah's
providence and the contrasts in His sublime creation,
which yet conduce to cosmic harmony (verses 1-6). Then
(verses 7-8) the soul of man, with internal order and
proportion in its capacities and faculties, as made by
Allah, is appealed to as having been endowed with the
power of discriminating between right and wrong. Then the
conclusion is stated in verses 9-10, that man's success
or failure, prosperity or bankruptcy, would depend upon
his keeping that soul pure or his corrupting it.
