The Sun (Al-Shams)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sun and its heat and brightness, 1 And by the moon as it follows it (the sun); 2 And [by] the day when it displays it 3 And by the night as it conceals it (the sun); 4 by the heavens and that (Power) which established them, 5 by the earth and that (Power) which spread it out 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 and inspired it with its sin and its piety, 8 prosperous is he who purified it, 9 and failed is he who buried it! 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 When among them the great wretch arose, 12 although God's apostle had told them, "It is a she-camel belonging to God, so let her drink [and do her no harm]!" 13 But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground). 14 And He does not fear its coming behind (to take vengeance). 15
