The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the sun and its midmorning, 1 And [by] the moon when it follows it 2 And by the day as it shows up (the sun's) brightness; 3 The night when it covers him over, 4 And the heaven and Him Who built it, 5 And the earth and Him Who extended it, 6 And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 He who purifies it will indeed be successful, 9 And he will indeed fail who corrupts it. 10 Thamood cried lies in their insolence 11 when the most wicked man among them rose up. 12 Then the messenger of God said to them, "This is God's she-camel. Let her drink." 13 But they belied him, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin and leveled it (their village). 14 And He does not fear the consequence thereof. 15
