The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and its heat and brightness, 1 And by the moon as it follows it (the sun); 2 And by oath of the day when it reveals it 3 and by the night as it envelopes the sun; 4 And by the heaven and Him Who built it; 5 And [by] the earth and He who spread it 6 And a soul and Him Who perfected it 7 And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;- 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it. 10 Thamud (people) denied (their Prophet) through their transgression (by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism, and by following polytheism, and by committing every kind of sin). 11 When among them the great wretch arose, 12 then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' 13 Then they belied him and they hamstrung her; wherefore their Lord overwhelmed them for their crime, and made it equal. 14 He dreadeth not the sequel (of events). 15
