The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the sun and its morning brightness, 1 By the Moon as she follows him; 2 And by oath of the day when it reveals it 3 And by the night as it conceals it (the sun); 4 And the heaven and Him Who made it, 5 and by the earth and That which extended it! 6 by the soul and Who shaped it 7 And inspired it with the wickedness thereof and the piety thereof, 8 Indeed successful is the one who made it pure. 9 and failed has he who seduces it. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 when the most wretched of them uprose, 12 The Messenger of God told them, "This is a she-camel, belonging to God. Do not deprive her of her share of water". 13 But they called him a liar and hamstrung her. So God obliterated them for their crime, and (destroyed) all of them alike. 14 for none [of them] had any fear of what might befall them. 15
