The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sun and its heat and brightness, 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 by the day, when it displays it, 3 And by oath of the night when it hides it 4 And [by] the sky and He who constructed it 5 And [by] the earth and He who spread it 6 And the soul and Him Who made it perfect, 7 And given the faculty of knowing what is disruptive and what is intrinsic to it. 8 He has succeeded who purifies it, 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 Thamud denied (the truth) in their perverseness 11 When the most wicked among them stood up in defiance. 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
