The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the sun and its heat and brightness, 1 and by the moon when she follows him, 2 The day when it reveals his radiance, 3 And [by] the night when it covers it 4 by the sky and how He built it 5 And by oath of the earth and by oath of Him Who spread it. 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 and inspired it with knowledge of evil and piety, 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e. disobeys what Allah has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism, etc. or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds). 10 The Thamud denied (the truth) in their perverseness 11 What time the greatest wretch of them rose up. 12 And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let 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 does not fear the consequence. 15
