The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sun and his brightness, 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 The day when it reveals his radiance, 3 And by oath of the night when it hides it 4 And by oath of the heaven and by oath of Him Who made it. 5 and by the earth and That which extended it! 6 and by the soul and by Him Who perfectly proportioned it, 7 then inspired it to understand what was right and wrong for it. 8 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 9 And miserable is he who hath buried it. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 When the most wicked man among them went forth (to kill the she-camel). 12 So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) 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
