The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour; 1 And the moon when it follows the sun, 2 And by oath of the day when it reveals it 3 and the night as it veils it darkly! 4 by the heavens and that (Power) which established them, 5 By the earth and Him Who spread it forth, 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 9 And he will indeed fail who corrupts it. 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 when their arch-criminal rose up in rage. 12 although God's apostle had told them, "It is a she-camel belonging to God, so let her drink [and do her no harm]!" 13 Then they denied him and they killed it. So their Lord destroyed them because of their sin, and made them equal in destruction (i.e. all grades of people, rich and poor, strong and weak, etc.)! 14 And He feared not the consequence thereof 15
