The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the sun and its rising brightness 1 And by the moon as it follows it (the sun); 2 And by oath of the day when it reveals it 3 and the night as it veils it darkly! 4 and by the sky and by Him Who made it; 5 And [by] the earth and He who spread it 6 And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it 7 and inspired it to lewdness and godfearing! 8 Prosperous is he who purifies it, 9 And miserable is he who hath buried it. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 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 denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings). 14 He does not fear the consequence. 15
