The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sun and its brightness 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 and by the day as it reveals its glory 3 By the Night as it conceals it; 4 By the heaven and Who built it, 5 And by oath of the earth and by oath of Him Who spread it. 6 By the soul, and That which shaped it 7 then inspired it to understand what was right and wrong for it. 8 He who nourishes it will surely be successful, 9 and he who corrupts it is sure to fail. 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 basest of them broke forth 12 The Messenger of God told them, "This is a she-camel, belonging to God. Do not deprive her of her share of water". 13 Then they belied him and they hamstrung her; wherefore their Lord overwhelmed them for their crime, and made it equal. 14 And for Him is no fear of its consequences. 15
