The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the sun and his morning brightness 1 By the moon when it followeth it, 2 And by the day as it shows up (the sun's) brightness; 3 And by the night as it conceals it (the sun); 4 And by the heaven and Him Who built it; 5 by the earth and that (Power) which spread it out 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 He will indeed be successful who purifies it, 9 and he who suppresses it will be ruined. 10 Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression, 11 When among them the great wretch arose, 12 So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink. 13 But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings). 14 And He does not fear the consequence thereof. 15
