The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
CONSIDER the sun and its radiant brightness, 1 And by oath of the moon when it follows the sun 2 by the day, when it displays it, 3 And [by] the night when it covers it 4 By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure; 5 by the earth and that (Power) which spread it out 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 Indeed successful is the one who made it pure. 9 and he who corrupts it is sure to fail. 10 Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression, 11 when the most wicked of them broke forth, 12 Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her drink!” 13 But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them: 14 He has no fear of its sequel. 15
