The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and its morning brightness, 1 And by oath of the moon when it follows the sun 2 And by oath of the day when it reveals it 3 And by oath of the night when it hides it 4 By the heaven and Him Who builded it, 5 And by the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; 7 and inspired it to lewdness and godfearing! 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 and failed is he who buried it! 10 Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression, 11 when the most corrupt of them incited them (to commit evil). 12 the Messenger of Allah said to them: '(This is) the shecamel of Allah, let her drink' 13 Then they belied him and they hamstrung her; wherefore their Lord overwhelmed them for their crime, and made it equal. 14 God is not afraid of the result of what He had decreed. 15
