The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By oath of the sun and its light 1 And the moon when she followeth him, 2 And the day when it revealeth him, 3 and the night as it veils it darkly! 4 By the heaven and That which built it 5 by the earth and Who spread it, 6 by the soul and how He formed it, 7 and imbued it with (the consciousness of) its evil and its piety: 8 prosperous is he who purified it, 9 And he fails that corrupts it! 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 What time the greatest wretch of them rose up. 12 then the Messenger of God said to them, 'The She-camel of God; let her drink!' 13 However, they rejected him and slew her. So their Lord completely destroyed them and their city for their sins. 14 And He does not fear the consequence thereof. 15
