The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sun and its heat and brightness, 1 By the Moon as she follows him; 2 And [by] the day when it displays it 3 And by the night as it conceals it (the sun); 4 And by oath of the heaven and by oath of Him Who made it. 5 And [by] the earth and He who spread it 6 and by the soul and that (Power) which designed it 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 He will indeed be successful who purifies it, 9 And indeed failed is the one who covered it in sin. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 When the basest of them broke forth 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 slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground). 14 He has no fear of its sequel. 15
