The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the sun and his brightness, 1 And the moon when it follows the sun, 2 and by the day as it displays the sun's glory, 3 And [by] the night when it covers it 4 By the heaven and Who built it, 5 and the earth and all its expanse! 6 and by the soul and that (Power) which designed it 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 those who purify their souls will certainly have everlasting happiness 9 and failed is he who buried it! 10 Thamood cried lies in their insolence 11 when their arch-criminal rose up in rage. 12 then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' 13 But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them: 14 and He fears not the issue thereof. 15
