The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the sun and its midmorning, 1 And by the moon as it follows it (the sun); 2 And the day when it revealeth him, 3 And [by] the night when it covers it 4 by the heavens and that (Power) which established them, 5 and the earth and all its expanse! 6 And by oath of the soul and by oath of Him Who made it proper. 7 And inspired in it the knowledge of its sins and its piety. 8 He who nourishes it will surely be successful, 9 and he who corrupts it is sure to fail. 10 Thamood belied in their pride 11 What time the greatest wretch of them rose up. 12 And the apostle of God had to tell them: "This is God's she-camel, let her drink." 13 But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings). 14 He does not fear the consequence. 15
