The Sun (Al-Shams)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sun and its rising brightness 1 And by the moon as it follows it (the sun); 2 And the day when it revealeth him, 3 And the night when it draws a veil over it, 4 and by the sky and by Him Who made it; 5 And the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 And a soul and Him Who perfected it 7 and inspired it with knowledge of evil and piety, 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 and he who corrupts it is sure to fail. 10 The Thamud tribe rejected the truth because of their arrogance, 11 When among them the great wretch arose, 12 But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!" 13 But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings). 14 And He does not fear its coming behind (to take vengeance). 15
