The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By oath of the sun and its light 1 And [by] the moon when it follows it 2 And by the day as it shows up (the sun's) brightness; 3 By the night when it envelopeth it, 4 And the heaven and Him Who made it, 5 by the earth and that (Power) which spread it out 6 And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it 7 And inspired it with the wickedness thereof and the piety thereof, 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]. 10 Thamood belied in their pride 11 When the most wicked among them stood up in defiance. 12 the Messenger of Allah said to them: '(This is) the shecamel of Allah, let her drink' 13 Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)! 14 And for Him is no fear of its consequences. 15
