The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sun and its brightness 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 by the day when it brightens the earth, 3 by the night when it covers the earth with darkness, 4 And by oath of the heaven and by oath of Him Who made it. 5 And by the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 then inspired it to understand what was right and wrong for it. 8 He will indeed be successful who purifies it, 9 And indeed failed is the one who covered it in sin. 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 Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' 13 But they gave him the lie, and hamstrung the she-camel. So their Lord destroyed them for their crime and razed their city to the ground. 14 And He feared not the consequence thereof 15
