The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the sun and its rising brightness 1 And the moon when she followeth him, 2 And the day when it shows it, 3 By the Night as it conceals it; 4 By the heaven and Him Who builded it, 5 And the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it 7 And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;- 8 prosperous is he who purified it, 9 And he will indeed fail who corrupts it. 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 when the most corrupt of them incited them (to commit evil). 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 cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them: 14 He does not fear the consequence. 15
