The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
And by the sun and its brightness; 1 By the Moon as she follows him; 2 By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory; 3 And by the night as it conceals it (the sun); 4 By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure; 5 and by the earth and how He spread it, 6 by the soul and Who shaped it 7 and inspired it with knowledge of evil and piety, 8 Indeed successful is the one who made it pure. 9 and he who corrupts it is sure to fail. 10 Thamood belied in their pride 11 What time the greatest wretch of 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 and He fears not the issue thereof. 15
