The Sun (Al-Shams)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sun and his brightness, 1 by the moon when it follows the sun, 2 By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory; 3 The night when it covers him over, 4 And [by] the sky and He who constructed it 5 And [by] the earth and He who spread it 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 and inspired it with knowledge of evil and piety, 8 Prosperous is he who purifies it, 9 and he who suppresses it will be ruined. 10 Thamood cried lies in their insolence 11 when their arch-criminal rose up in rage. 12 Then the messenger of God said to them, "This is God's she-camel. Let her drink." 13 But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them: 14 And He does not fear its coming behind (to take vengeance). 15
