The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
And by the sun and its brightness; 1 And the moon when it follows the sun, 2 by the day when it brightens the earth, 3 And [by] the night when it covers it 4 by the sky and how He built it 5 And [by] the earth and He who spread it 6 By the soul and Him Who propertioned it, 7 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; 8 Prosperous is he who purifies it, 9 and failed has he who seduces it. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 What time the greatest wretch of them rose up. 12 And the apostle of God had to tell them: "This is God's she-camel, let her drink." 13 But they gave him the lie, and hamstrung the she-camel. So their Lord destroyed them for their crime and razed their city to the ground. 14 He has no fear of its sequel. 15
