Surah “The Sun”

as rendered by M. M. Pickthall — 15 verses

By the sun and his brightness
And the moon when she followeth him
And the day when it revealeth him
And the night when it enshroudeth him
And the heaven and Him Who built it
And the earth and Him Who spread it
And a soul and Him Who perfected i
And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it
He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow
And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it
(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride
When the basest of them broke fort
And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings)
He dreadeth not the sequel (of events)
