The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
I swear by the sun and its brilliance, 1 And the moon when she followeth him, 2 and by the day when it displays him 3 by the night, when it envelops it! 4 And by oath of the heaven and by oath of Him Who made it. 5 and the earth and all its expanse! 6 By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it; 7 and inspired it with its sin and its piety, 8 Indeed successful is the one who made it pure. 9 And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e. disobeys what Allah has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism, etc. or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds). 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 when the most wicked man among them rose up. 12 Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her 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 He does not fear the result (of their destruction). 15
