The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the sun and its noon-time brightness, 1 and the moon as it reflects the sun! 2 And [by] the day when it displays it 3 And by the night as it conceals it (the sun); 4 and by the sky and by Him Who made it; 5 and by the earth and by Him Who stretched it out; 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 He will indeed be successful who purifies it, 9 And indeed failed is the one who covered it in sin. 10 (The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride, 11 when the most wicked 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 belied him, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin and leveled it (their village). 14 He does not fear the result (of their destruction). 15
