The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sun and its heat and brightness, 1 and by the moon as it follows it, 2 And the day when it revealeth him, 3 by the night, when it envelops it! 4 By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure; 5 And the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it. 8 prosperous is he who purified it, 9 and failed has he who seduces it. 10 Thamood cried lies in their insolence 11 when their arch-criminal rose up in rage. 12 So the Noble Messenger of Allah said to them, “Stay away from the she camel of Allah, and from its turn to drink.” 13 However, they rejected him and slew her. So their Lord completely destroyed them and their city for their sins. 14 And for Him is no fear of its consequences. 15
