The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the sun and its noon-time brightness, 1 And by the moon as it follows it (the sun); 2 and by the day as it reveals its glory 3 By the Night as it conceals it; 4 and by the sky and by Him Who made it; 5 and the earth and all its expanse! 6 And by oath of the soul and by oath of Him Who made it proper. 7 And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;- 8 Indeed successful is the one who made it pure. 9 And he who confines it will surely come to grief. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 When the basest of them broke forth 12 although God's apostle had told them, "It is a she-camel belonging to God, so let her drink [and do her no harm]!" 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 He does not fear the result (of their destruction). 15
