The Sun (Al-Shams)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sun and its brightness 1 and the moon as it reflects the sun! 2 And [by] the day when it displays it 3 And by oath of the night when it hides it 4 By the heaven and Who built it, 5 and by the earth and by Him Who stretched it out; 6 By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 He will indeed be successful who purifies it, 9 And he will indeed fail who corrupts it. 10 Thamood cried lies in their insolence 11 when their arch-criminal rose up in rage. 12 But the Messenger of Allah [Salih (Saleh)] said to them: "Be cautious! Fear the evil end. That is the she-camel of Allah! (Do not harm it) and bar it not from having its 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 And He does not fear its coming behind (to take vengeance). 15
