The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
And by the sun and its brightness; 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 by the day, when it displays it, 3 by the night when it covers the earth with darkness, 4 by the heavens and that (Power) which established them, 5 and the earth and all its expanse! 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 and imbued it with (the consciousness of) its evil and its piety: 8 Indeed successful is the one who made it pure. 9 And he who confines it will surely come to grief. 10 The Thamud denied (the truth) in their perverseness 11 when the most wicked man among them rose up. 12 But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having 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 He has no fear of its sequel. 15
