The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the sun and his brightness, 1 And the moon when she followeth him, 2 By the day when it glorifieth it. 3 by the night when it covers the earth with darkness, 4 by the heavens and that (Power) which established them, 5 By the earth and Him Who spread it forth, 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 then inspired it to understand what was right and wrong for it. 8 He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow, 9 And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 when their arch-criminal rose up in rage. 12 then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' 13 Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)! 14 for none [of them] had any fear of what might befall them. 15
