The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
And by the sun and its brightness; 1 By the moon when it followeth it, 2 And by the day as it shows up (the sun's) brightness; 3 And [by] the night when it covers it 4 Consider the sky and its wondrous make, 5 And by the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 and inspired it with knowledge of evil and piety, 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 and he who corrupts it is sure to fail. 10 Thamood cried lies in their insolence 11 Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety). 12 then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' 13 But they rejected his statement as a lie and hamstrung the she-camel. For that crime their Lord rumbled down upon them, utterly razing them to the ground. 14 He has no fear of its sequel. 15
