The Self and the she-camel النفس والناقة
Summary and links in the frieze
In the frieze He learns that whoever purifies his Self succeeds, and sees the Thamud pounded for denying.
Read just before, 92 leads here: The most wretched who will burn has a face in the next sura: the most wretched of the Thamud, before the she-camel of God. 92
It leads to 90: The Self is inspired with its depravity and its guardedness; in the next sura, the human being is guided along the two paths. 90
Closes on “They ask one another”
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Kwa jina la Mungu, Mwingi wa Huruma, Mwenye Huruma.
Kwa jua na mwanga wake wa asubuhi! Kwa mwezi unapoufuata! Kwa mchana unapoufunua! Kwa usiku unapoufunika! Kwa anga na yale yaliyoijenga! Kwa ardhi na yale yaliyoitandaza! Kwa Dhati moja, na yale yaliyoiunda, kisha yakaifunulia ufisadi wake na ujikingaji wake! Hakika amefaulu yule anayeisafisha, na hakika ameshindwa yule anayeifukia.
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا وَنَفْسٍۢ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
Thamudi waliita uongo, kwa upindukiaji wao, mnyonge zaidi miongoni mwao alipoinuka. Mjumbe wa Mungu aliwaambia ndipo: “Ngamia jike wa Mungu, na unyweshaji wake!” Lakini walimwita uongo na wakamkata viungo. Mlezi wao kwa hiyo aliwaponda kwa kosa lao, na akawafanya tambarare.
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
Kwa hiyo haogopi matokeo yake.
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
