The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the sun and his brightness, 1 And [by] the moon when it follows it 2 and by the day as it displays the sun's glory, 3 And by oath of the night when it hides it 4 by the heavens and that (Power) which established them, 5 by the earth and that (Power) which spread it out 6 And a soul and Him Who perfected it 7 And inspired in it the knowledge of its sins and its piety. 8 Indeed successful is the one who made it pure. 9 and he who suppresses it will be ruined. 10 The Thamud tribe rejected the truth because of their arrogance, 11 When the most wicked man among them went forth (to kill the she-camel). 12 Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her drink!” 13 But they rejected his statement as a lie and hamstrung the she-camel. For that crime their Lord rumbled down upon them, utterly razing them to the ground. 14 He does not fear the consequence. 15
