Surah “The Sun”

By the sun and its brightness

And by the moon when it follows the sun

And by the day when it reveals the sun's glory

And by the night when it draws a veil over the light of the sun

And by the heaven and its wonderful structure

And by the earth and its expanse

And by the soul and its perfection

And HE revealed to it the ways of evil and the ways of righteousness

He, indeed, prospers who purifies it

And he is ruined who corrupts it

The tribe of Thamud rejected the Divine Messenger because of their rebelliousness

When the most wretched among them got up

Then the Messenger of ALLAH said, `Leave alone the she-camel of ALLAH and obstruct not her drink.

But they called him a liar and hamstrung her, so their Lord destroyed them completely because of their sin, and made destruction overtake all of them alike

And HE cared not for the consequences thereof
