Surah “The Sun”

as rendered by Shakir — 15 verses

I swear by the sun and its brilliance
And the moon when it follows the sun
And the day when it shows it
And the night when it draws a veil over it
And the heaven and Him Who made it
And the earth and Him Who extended it
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it
He will indeed be successful who purifies it
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth wit
So Allah's messenger said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink
But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground)
And He fears not its consequence
