The Sun (Al-Shams)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO witness the sun and his early morning splendour, 1 and by the moon as it follows it, 2 And [by] the day when it displays it 3 And the night when it draws a veil over it, 4 And the heaven and Him Who made it, 5 And by the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow, 9 and he who suppresses it will be ruined. 10 Thamood belied in their pride 11 When among them the great wretch arose, 12 So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink. 13 But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground). 14 And He does not fear its coming behind (to take vengeance). 15
