The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sun and its midmorning, 1 by the moon, which follows it, 2 by the day, when it displays it, 3 And the night when it enshroudeth him, 4 And [by] the sky and He who constructed it 5 And by the earth and Him Who spread it, 6 And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it 7 then inspired it to understand what was right and wrong for it. 8 prosperous is he who purified it, 9 And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 When the most wretched of them was sent forth. 12 And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink! 13 Then they belied him and they hamstrung her; wherefore their Lord overwhelmed them for their crime, and made it equal. 14 and He fears not the issue thereof. 15
