91. THE SUN (ash-Shams)

In the name of Allah,
the Gracious, the Merciful

1. By the sun and its radiance.
2. And the moon as it follows it.
3. And the day as it reveals it.
4. And the night as it conceals it.
5. And the sky and He who built it.
6. And the earth and He who spread it.
7. And the soul and He who proportioned it.
8. And inspired it with its wickedness and its
   righteousness.
9. Successful is he who purifies it.
10. Failing is he who corrupts it.
11. Thamood denied in its pride.
12. When it followed its most wicked.
13. The messenger of Allah said to them, “This
    is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink.”
14. But they called him a liar, and hamstrung
    her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin,
    and leveled it.
15. And He does not fear its sequel
