The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the sun and its heat and brightness, 1 And the moon when she followeth him, 2 And by the day as it shows up (the sun's) brightness; 3 And [by] the night when it covers it 4 and by the sky and by Him Who made it; 5 The earth and its spreading out, 6 The soul and how it was integrated 7 And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it. 8 He will indeed be successful who purifies it, 9 And he who confines it will surely come to grief. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 when the most wicked man among them rose up. 12 So the Noble Messenger of Allah said to them, “Stay away from the she camel of Allah, and from its turn to drink.” 13 But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground). 14 He does not fear the result (of their destruction). 15
