The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sun and its midmorning, 1 by the moon, which follows it, 2 And the day when it revealeth him, 3 By the Night as it conceals it; 4 By the heaven and Who built it, 5 And [by] the earth and He who spread it 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;- 8 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 9 And he will indeed fail who corrupts it. 10 In their presumptuous insolence the Thamud called the Truth a lie 11 When the basest of them broke forth 12 then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' 13 But they called him a liar and hamstrung her. So God obliterated them for their crime, and (destroyed) all of them alike. 14 He has no fear of its sequel. 15
