The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour; 1 And the moon when it follows the sun, 2 And the day when it revealeth him, 3 The night when it covers him over, 4 By the heaven and Him Who builded it, 5 And [by] the earth and He who spread it 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 And given the faculty of knowing what is disruptive and what is intrinsic to it. 8 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 9 And indeed failed is the one who covered it in sin. 10 Thamood belied in their pride 11 When the most wicked man among them went forth (to kill the she-camel). 12 Then the messenger of God said to them, "This is God's she-camel. Let her drink." 13 But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground). 14 He does not fear the result (of their destruction). 15
