The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sun and his brightness, 1 And by oath of the moon when it follows the sun 2 The day when it reveals his radiance, 3 And by the night as it conceals it (the sun); 4 by the heavens and that (Power) which established them, 5 The earth and its spreading out, 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 Surely blissful is he who hath cleansed it, 9 and failed is he who buried it! 10 In their presumptuous insolence the Thamud called the Truth a lie 11 When the most wretched of them was sent forth. 12 And the apostle of God had to tell them: "This is God's she-camel, let her drink." 13 But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them: 14 He has no fear of its sequel. 15
