The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and its midmorning, 1 By the moon when it followeth it, 2 The day when it reveals his radiance, 3 The night when it covers him over, 4 by the sky and how He built it 5 By the earth and Him Who spread it forth, 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 9 and he who suppresses it will be ruined. 10 In their presumptuous insolence the Thamud called the Truth a lie 11 when the most corrupt of them incited them (to commit evil). 12 So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink. 13 However, they rejected him and slew her. So their Lord completely destroyed them and their city for their sins. 14 God is not afraid of the result of what He had decreed. 15
