The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the sun and its brightness 1 By the Moon as she follows him; 2 Consider the day as it reveals the world, 3 And by oath of the night when it hides it 4 And the heaven and Him Who built it, 5 And the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 prosperous is he who purified it, 9 and he who suppresses it will be ruined. 10 (The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride, 11 When the basest of them broke forth 12 Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her drink!” 13 But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground). 14 for none [of them] had any fear of what might befall them. 15
