The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and its brightness 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 And the day when it shows it, 3 And the night when it draws a veil over it, 4 By the heaven and Who built it, 5 The earth and its spreading out, 6 And the soul and Him Who made it perfect, 7 And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;- 8 those who purify their souls will certainly have everlasting happiness 9 and he who suppresses it will be ruined. 10 The Thamud denied (the truth) in their perverseness 11 Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety). 12 Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her drink!” 13 But they called him a liar and hamstrung her. So God obliterated them for their crime, and (destroyed) all of them alike. 14 He dreadeth not the sequel (of events). 15
