The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and its brightness 1 And [by] the moon when it follows it 2 And by oath of the day when it reveals it 3 And by the night as it conceals it (the sun); 4 By the heaven and Him Who builded it, 5 And the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 and by the soul and that (Power) which designed it 7 And given the faculty of knowing what is disruptive and what is intrinsic to it. 8 He who purifies it will indeed be successful, 9 And indeed failed is the one who covered it in sin. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 when their arch-criminal rose up in rage. 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 gave him the lie, and hamstrung the she-camel. So their Lord destroyed them for their crime and razed their city to the ground. 14 He dreadeth not the sequel (of events). 15
