Surah “The Sun”

as rendered by Bijan Moeinian — 15 verses

Hereby God swears by the sun and its brightness
And by the moon which follows the sun
And by the day that takes over the darkness after sun appears
And by the night that takes over the day
And by the universe and the One Who created it
And by the earth and the One Who spread it
And by the life itself which is going through evolution toward being perfect
That God has clearly indicated what is right and what is wrong for man
The successful person is indeed the one who purify himself by controlling those desires which are listed as evil by God
The looser, on the contrary, is the one who does not believe in good and evil as indicated by God and commits evil deeds
Be reminded that before you, people of Thamud rebelled against God and denied his criteria
When the most wicked person among them went to kill the she camel (that they themselves had asked as a miracle.
Their prophet begged them not kill the she camel that had appeared among them as a sign of God's covenant with them and let her to drink the water
They laughed at him and killed the camel (as a sign of rebellion and challenging God.
God does not care about what a dreadful punishment His rebellious creatures knowingly earn for themselves
