The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and his morning brightness 1 And [by] the moon when it follows it 2 The day when it reveals his radiance, 3 And by oath of the night when it hides it 4 Consider the sky and its wondrous make, 5 And by oath of the earth and by oath of Him Who spread it. 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 and inspired it with knowledge of evil and piety, 8 those who purify their souls will certainly have everlasting happiness 9 and he who corrupts it is sure to fail. 10 (The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride, 11 when the most wicked man among them rose up. 12 And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink! 13 But they belied him, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin and leveled it (their village). 14 God is not afraid of the result of what He had decreed. 15
