The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
And by the sun and its brightness; 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 By the day when it glorifieth it. 3 By the Night as it conceals it; 4 By the heaven and That which built it 5 and by the earth and by Him Who stretched it out; 6 And a soul and Him Who perfected it 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 9 And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e. disobeys what Allah has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism, etc. or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds). 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 When the basest of them broke forth 12 So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink. 13 But they rejected his statement as a lie and hamstrung the she-camel. For that crime their Lord rumbled down upon them, utterly razing them to the ground. 14 And for Him is no fear of its consequences. 15
