The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sun and his morning brightness 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 and by the day when it displays him 3 by the night when it covers the earth with darkness, 4 By the heaven and Him Who builded it, 5 And by the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 And by Nafs (Adam or a person or a soul, etc.), and Him Who perfected him in proportion; 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow, 9 And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 when the most wicked of them broke forth, 12 then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' 13 In response they belied him, and hamstrung the she camel – so Allah put ruin over them because of their sins and flattened their dwellings. 14 And He feared not the consequence thereof 15
