The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the sun and its heat and brightness, 1 And by oath of the moon when it follows the sun 2 and by the day when it displays him 3 And the night when it draws a veil over it, 4 And [by] the sky and He who constructed it 5 and by the earth and by Him Who stretched it out; 6 By the soul, and That which shaped it 7 And inspired in it the knowledge of its sins and its piety. 8 those who purify their souls will certainly have everlasting happiness 9 and failed has he who seduces it. 10 The people of Thamud rejected (the truth) as a result of their rebelliousness 11 What time the greatest wretch of them rose up. 12 then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' 13 But they called him a liar and hamstrung her. So God obliterated them for their crime, and (destroyed) all of them alike. 14 And He (Allah) feared not the consequences thereof. 15
