The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the sun and its heat and brightness, 1 by the moon when it follows the sun, 2 The day when it reveals his radiance, 3 and by the night as it envelopes the sun; 4 By the heaven and That which built it 5 The earth and its spreading out, 6 And the soul and Him Who made it perfect, 7 and inspired it with knowledge of evil and piety, 8 Indeed successful is the one who made it pure. 9 and those who corrupt their souls will certainly be deprived (of happiness). 10 Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy, 11 When the most wretched of them was sent forth. 12 Then the apostle of Allah said unto them: beware of the she-camel of Allah and her drink. 13 But they gave him the lie, and cruelly slaughtered her - whereupon their Sustainer visited them with utter destruction for this their sin, destroying them all alike: 14 And He feared not the consequence thereof 15
