The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sun and his brightness, 1 By the moon when it followeth it, 2 And by oath of the day when it reveals it 3 by the night when it covers the earth with darkness, 4 By the heaven and Who built it, 5 By the Earth and its (wide) expanse: 6 and by the soul and by Him Who perfectly proportioned it, 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 9 And indeed failed is the one who covered it in sin. 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 When among them the great wretch arose, 12 Then the messenger of God said to them, "This is God's she-camel. Let her drink." 13 Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)! 14 And for Him is no fear of its consequences. 15
