The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
And by the sun and its brightness; 1 by the moon, which follows it, 2 Consider the day as it reveals the world, 3 By the night when it envelopeth it, 4 and by the sky and by Him Who made it; 5 And by oath of the earth and by oath of Him Who spread it. 6 And by Nafs (Adam or a person or a soul, etc.), and Him Who perfected him in proportion; 7 And inspired it with the wickedness thereof and the piety thereof, 8 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 9 And indeed failed is the one who covered it in sin. 10 Thamood belied in their pride 11 When the most wicked man among them went forth (to kill the she-camel). 12 But the Messenger of Allah [Salih (Saleh)] said to them: "Be cautious! Fear the evil end. That is the she-camel of Allah! (Do not harm it) and bar it not from having its 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 has no fear of its sequel. 15
