The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
And by the sun and its brightness; 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 And by the day as it shows up (the sun's) brightness; 3 By the Night as it conceals it; 4 By the heaven and Who built it, 5 and by the earth and how He spread it, 6 And a soul and Him Who perfected it 7 and inspired it with its sin and its piety, 8 Indeed successful is the one who made it pure. 9 and he who corrupts it is sure to fail. 10 TO [THIS] TRUTH gave the lie, in their overweening arrogance, [the tribe of] Thamud, 11 Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety). 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 However, they rejected him and slew her. So their Lord completely destroyed them and their city for their sins. 14 He dreadeth not the sequel (of events). 15
