The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By oath of the sun and its light 1 And the moon when it follows the sun, 2 And the day when it shows it, 3 and by the night when it enshrouds him! 4 And the heaven and Him Who made it, 5 and by the earth and by Him Who stretched it out; 6 By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 Indeed successful is the one who made it pure. 9 And indeed failed is the one who covered it in sin. 10 Thamood belied in their pride 11 when the most wicked of them broke forth, 12 Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her drink!” 13 But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them: 14 for none [of them] had any fear of what might befall them. 15
