The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sun and its brightness 1 And by the moon as it follows it (the sun); 2 and by the day as it displays the sun's glory, 3 The night when it covers him over, 4 and by the sky and by Him Who made it; 5 By the earth and Him Who spread it forth, 6 by the soul and Who shaped it 7 and inspired it to lewdness and godfearing! 8 Surely blissful is he who hath cleansed it, 9 and he who suppresses it will be ruined. 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 the most wicked of them broke forth, 12 Then the apostle of Allah said unto them: beware of the she-camel of Allah and her drink. 13 But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them]. 14 and He fears not the issue thereof. 15
