The Sun

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[91:1]

By the sun and his brightness,

[91:2]

And the moon when she followeth him,

[91:3]

And the day when it revealeth him,

[91:4]

And the night when it enshroudeth him,

[91:5]

And the heaven and Him Who built it,

[91:6]

And the earth and Him Who spread it,

[91:7]

And a soul and Him Who perfected it

[91:8]

And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.

[91:9]

He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,

[91:10]

And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.

[91:11]

(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,

[91:12]

When the basest of them broke forth

[91:13]

And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!

[91:14]

But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).

[91:15]

He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
