Surah “The Sun”

as rendered by Word for Word
Dr. Shehnaz Shaikh, Ms. Kauser Katri, and more
— 15 verses

By the sun and its brightness,
And the moon when it follows it,
And the day when it displays it,
And the night when it covers it,
And the heaven and (He) Who constructed it,
And the earth and (He) Who spread it,
And (the) soul and (He) Who proportioned it,
And He inspired it (to distinguish) its wickedness and its righteousness
Indeed, he succeeds who purifies it,
And indeed, he fails who buries it.
Denied Thamud by their transgression,
When (was) sent forth (the) most wicked of them.
But said to them (the) Messenger (of) Allah, "(It is the) she-camel (of) Allah and her drink."
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her. So destroyed them their Lord for their sin and leveled them.
And not He fears its consequences.
