The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sun and its midmorning, 1 And by the moon as it follows it (the sun); 2 Consider the day as it reveals the world, 3 and by the night when it enshrouds him! 4 by the sky and how He built it 5 And [by] the earth and He who spread it 6 By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; 7 And inspired it with the wickedness thereof and the piety thereof, 8 He who purifies it will indeed be successful, 9 And miserable is he who hath buried it. 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 when the most wicked man among them rose up. 12 then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' 13 In response they belied him, and hamstrung the she camel – so Allah put ruin over them because of their sins and flattened their dwellings. 14 And He feared not the consequence thereof 15
