AL SHAMS (The Sun)
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
1 By the sun and his splendour;
2 By the moon as she follows him;
3 By the day as it shows up the sun’s glory;
4 By the night as it conceals it;
5 By the sky and its structure;
6 By the earth and its expanse;
7 By the soul, and the proportion and order given to it;
8 And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;
9 Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
10 And he fails that corrupts it!
11 The Thamud denied their wrong doing.
12 Behold, they followed the most wicked man among them.
13 But the Messenger of Allah said to them: “It is a she-camel of Allah! Let her drink!”
14 Then they rejected him, and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated every trace of them and levelled it!
15 And for him is no fear of its consequences.
