The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By oath of the sun and its light 1 by the moon, which follows it, 2 By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory; 3 and by the night when it enshrouds him! 4 The heavens and its architecture, 5 And the earth and Him Who spread it, 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 He who nourishes it will surely be successful, 9 And he will indeed fail who corrupts it. 10 The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing, 11 When the basest of them broke forth 12 Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her drink!” 13 But they rejected his statement as a lie and hamstrung the she-camel. For that crime their Lord rumbled down upon them, utterly razing them to the ground. 14 And He (Allah) feared not the consequences thereof. 15
