The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and its morning brightness, 1 and by the moon when she follows him, 2 by the day, when it displays it, 3 And [by] the night when it covers it 4 by the heavens and that (Power) which established them, 5 And by the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 And a soul and Him Who perfected it 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 9 And he who confines it will surely come to grief. 10 Thamood cried lies in their insolence 11 When among them the great wretch arose, 12 And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink! 13 But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings). 14 God is not afraid of the result of what He had decreed. 15
