The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
I swear by the sun and its brilliance, 1 by the moon, which follows it, 2 And by oath of the day when it reveals it 3 The night when it covers him over, 4 by the sky and how He built it 5 And the earth and Him Who extended it, 6 And a soul and Him Who perfected it 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 He has succeeded who purifies it, 9 And indeed failed is the one who covered it in sin. 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 when that most hapless wretch from among them rushed forward [to commit his evil deed,] 12 Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her drink!” 13 However, they rejected him and slew her. So their Lord completely destroyed them and their city for their sins. 14 He does not fear the consequence. 15
