Surah “The Sun”

as rendered by Talal Itani (2012) — 15 verses

By the sun and its radiance
And the moon as it follows it
And the day as it reveals it
And the night as it conceals it
And the sky and He who built it
And the earth and He who spread it
And the soul and He who proportioned it
And inspired it with its wickedness and its righteousness
Successful is he who purifies it
Failing is he who corrupts it
Thamood denied in its pride
When it followed its most wicked
The messenger of God said to them, 'This is the she-camel of God, so let her drink.'
But they called him a liar, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled it
And He does not fear its sequel
