The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By oath of the sun and its light 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 by the day when it brightens the earth, 3 And by the night as it conceals it (the sun); 4 By the heaven and Him Who builded it, 5 And by the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 And by Nafs (Adam or a person or a soul, etc.), and Him Who perfected him in proportion; 7 and inspired it to lewdness and godfearing! 8 prosperous is he who purified it, 9 And indeed failed is the one who covered it in sin. 10 Thamood belied in their pride 11 when the most corrupt of them incited them (to commit evil). 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 and He fears not the issue thereof. 15
