The Sun (Al-Shams)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the sun and his brightness, 1 and by the moon when she follows him, 2 By the day when it glorifieth it. 3 and by the night when it enshrouds him! 4 And by oath of the heaven and by oath of Him Who made it. 5 by the earth and Who spread it, 6 By the soul, and That which shaped it 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 Surely blissful is he who hath cleansed it, 9 And miserable is he who hath buried it. 10 Thamood belied in their pride 11 when the most wretched of them uprose, 12 And the apostle of God had to tell them: "This is God's she-camel, let her drink." 13 But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them]. 14 And He does not fear its coming behind (to take vengeance). 15
