The Sun (Al-Shams)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour; 1 And by oath of the moon when it follows the sun 2 By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory; 3 And by oath of the night when it hides it 4 And by oath of the heaven and by oath of Him Who made it. 5 and the earth and all its expanse! 6 and by the soul and by Him Who perfectly proportioned it, 7 And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness, 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 and he who corrupts it is sure to fail. 10 Thamood cried lies in their insolence 11 when the most wicked of them broke forth, 12 Then the apostle of Allah said unto them: beware of the she-camel of Allah and her 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 And He does not fear its coming behind (to take vengeance). 15
