The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sun and its midmorning, 1 and by the moon when she follows him, 2 The day when it reveals his radiance, 3 by the night when it covers the earth with darkness, 4 The heavens and its architecture, 5 and by the earth and by Him Who stretched it out; 6 And a soul and Him Who perfected it 7 And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it. 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 And he who confines it will surely come to grief. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 What time the greatest wretch of them rose up. 12 Then the apostle of Allah said unto them: beware of the she-camel of Allah and her drink. 13 But they called him a liar and hamstrung her. So God obliterated them for their crime, and (destroyed) all of them alike. 14 He has no fear of its sequel. 15
