The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By oath of the sun and its light 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 The day when it reveals his radiance, 3 By the Night as it conceals it; 4 And the heaven and Him Who built it, 5 By the earth and Him Who spread it forth, 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 and inspired it with knowledge of evil and piety, 8 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 9 and those who corrupt their souls will certainly be deprived (of happiness). 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 when the most wretched of them uprose, 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 hamstrung her. So God obliterated them for their crime, and (destroyed) all of them alike. 14 God is not afraid of the result of what He had decreed. 15
