The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sun and its heat and brightness, 1 and by the moon when she follows him, 2 And [by] the day when it displays it 3 By the night when it envelopeth it, 4 The heavens and its architecture, 5 and the earth and all its expanse! 6 By the soul, and That which shaped it 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 Prosperous is he who purifies it, 9 and truly lost is he who buries it [in darkness]. 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 their arch-criminal rose up in rage. 12 then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' 13 But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them: 14 He has no fear of its sequel. 15
