The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sun and his morning brightness 1 And by oath of the moon when it follows the sun 2 by the day, when it displays it, 3 By the Night as it conceals it; 4 by the heavens and that (Power) which established them, 5 and by the earth and That which extended it! 6 and by the soul and by Him Who perfectly proportioned it, 7 and inspired it with its sin and its piety, 8 He who purifies it will indeed be successful, 9 And he who confines it will surely come to grief. 10 Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy, 11 when the most wicked of them broke forth, 12 And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink." 13 But they belied him, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin and leveled it (their village). 14 And He feared not the consequence thereof 15
