The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I swear by the sun and its brilliance, 1 and by the moon when she follows him, 2 And the day when it revealeth him, 3 The night when it covers him over, 4 And the heaven and Him Who made it, 5 And [by] the earth and He who spread it 6 by the soul and how He formed it, 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 He has succeeded who purifies it, 9 And miserable is he who hath buried it. 10 Thamud (people) denied (their Prophet) through their transgression (by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism, and by following polytheism, and by committing every kind of sin). 11 when the most wicked of them broke forth, 12 Then the messenger of God said to them, "This is God's she-camel. Let her drink." 13 But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them: 14 And He does not fear the consequence thereof. 15
