The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sun and its morning brightness, 1 by the moon when it follows the sun, 2 by the day when it brightens the earth, 3 And [by] the night when it covers it 4 Consider the sky and its wondrous make, 5 And the earth and Him Who extended it, 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 and inspired it with knowledge of evil and piety, 8 Surely blissful is he who hath cleansed it, 9 and failed is he who buried it! 10 Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy, 11 When the basest of them broke forth 12 Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her drink!” 13 However, they rejected him and slew her. So their Lord completely destroyed them and their city for their sins. 14 He did not fear the consequences. 15
