The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sun and his brightness, 1 and by the moon as it follows it, 2 and by the day as it reveals its glory 3 and by the night when it enshrouds him! 4 Consider the sky and its wondrous make, 5 and by the earth and That which extended it! 6 By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; 7 And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;- 8 prosperous is he who purified it, 9 And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it. 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 When the basest of them broke forth 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 And for Him is no fear of its consequences. 15
