The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and its noon-time brightness, 1 And by oath of the moon when it follows the sun 2 by the day, when it displays it, 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 Who shaped it 7 Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; 8 He has succeeded who purifies it, 9 And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it. 10 Thamud belied in their exorbitance. 11 when their arch-criminal rose up in rage. 12 Then the messenger of God said to them, "This is God's she-camel. Let her drink." 13 Then they denied him and they killed it. So their Lord destroyed them because of their sin, and made them equal in destruction (i.e. all grades of people, rich and poor, strong and weak, etc.)! 14 He dreadeth not the sequel (of events). 15
