The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sun and his brightness, 1 and by the moon when she follows him, 2 Consider the day as it reveals the world, 3 And the night when it draws a veil over it, 4 by the heavens and that (Power) which established them, 5 and by the earth and how He spread it, 6 by the soul and how He formed it, 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 He who purifies it will indeed be successful, 9 and those who corrupt their souls will certainly be deprived (of happiness). 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 when the most wretched of them uprose, 12 Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her drink!” 13 But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground). 14 And for Him is no fear of its consequences. 15
