The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and his morning brightness 1 By the Moon as she follows him; 2 And the day when it shows it, 3 And by oath of the night when it hides it 4 and by the sky and by Him Who made it; 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 Truly he succeeds that purifies it, 9 and he who corrupts it is sure to fail. 10 The Thamud tribe rejected the truth because of their arrogance, 11 When the most wretched of them was sent forth. 12 So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink. 13 Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)! 14 He dreadeth not the sequel (of events). 15
