The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sun and its morning brightness, 1 And the moon as she follows in his wake, 2 and by the day as it displays the sun's glory, 3 By the night when it envelopeth it, 4 And [by] the sky and He who constructed it 5 And by oath of the earth and by oath of Him Who spread it. 6 And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it 7 and how it is imbued with moral failings as well as with consciousness of God! 8 He who nourishes it will surely be successful, 9 And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it. 10 The people of Thamud rejected (the truth) as a result of their rebelliousness 11 when the most wicked of them broke forth, 12 Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her drink!” 13 But they belied him, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin and leveled it (their village). 14 and He fears not the issue thereof. 15
