The Sun (Al-Shams)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
And by the sun and its brightness; 1 And the moon as she follows in his wake, 2 And the day when it revealeth him, 3 And by oath of the night when it hides it 4 and by the sky and by Him Who made it; 5 and by the earth and That which extended it! 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 and failed is he who buried it! 10 The Thamud tribe rejected the truth because of their arrogance, 11 when the most wicked man among them rose up. 12 And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so 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 does not fear its coming behind (to take vengeance). 15
