The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour; 1 and by the moon when she follows him, 2 And by oath of the day when it reveals it 3 and by the night as it envelopes the sun; 4 And by the heaven and Him Who built it; 5 by the earth and that (Power) which spread it out 6 and by the soul and by Him Who perfectly proportioned it, 7 And inspired in it the knowledge of its sins and its piety. 8 He who purifies it will indeed be successful, 9 and he who suppresses it will be ruined. 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 When the most wicked among them stood up in defiance. 12 So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink. 13 But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them]. 14 He does not fear the result (of their destruction). 15
