The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I swear by the sun and its brilliance, 1 And by oath of the moon when it follows the sun 2 By the day when it glorifieth it. 3 and by the night when it enshrouds him! 4 And by the heaven and Him Who built it; 5 by the earth and Who spread it, 6 And the soul and Him Who made it perfect, 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 and he who corrupts it is sure to fail. 10 The people of Thamud rejected (the truth) as a result of their rebelliousness 11 What time the greatest wretch of them rose up. 12 So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink. 13 Then they belied him and they hamstrung her; wherefore their Lord overwhelmed them for their crime, and made it equal. 14 and He fears not the issue thereof. 15
