The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the sun and its brightness 1 by the moon, which follows it, 2 and by the day when it displays him 3 And by the night as it conceals it (the sun); 4 And [by] the sky and He who constructed it 5 and by the earth and how He spread it, 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 And given the faculty of knowing what is disruptive and what is intrinsic to it. 8 He will indeed be successful who purifies it, 9 and he who suppresses it will be ruined. 10 The Thamud denied (the truth) in their perverseness 11 What time the greatest wretch of them rose up. 12 So the Noble Messenger of Allah said to them, “Stay away from the she camel of Allah, and from its turn to drink.” 13 But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings). 14 And for Him is no fear of its consequences. 15
