Surah “The Sun”

By the sun and his brightness

And the moon when she borrows light from him

And the day when it exposes it to view

And the night when it draws a veil over it

And the heaven and its make

And the earth and its extension

And the soul and its perfection! -

So He reveals to it its way of evil and its way of good

He is indeed successful who causes it to grow

And he indeed fails who buries it

Thamud rejected (the truth) in their inordinacy

When the basest of them broke forth with mischief -

So Allah’s messenger said to them: (Leave alone) Allah’s she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink

But they called him a liar and slaughtered her. So their Lord destroyed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground)

And He fears not its consequence
