Ash-Shams

By the sun and its brightness, the moon that follows it, the day that reveals it, the night that covers it, the sky and the One who built it, the earth and the One who spread it, and the soul and the One who shaped it and inspired it with its wickedness and its righteousness: successful is the one who purifies it, and failed is the one who buries it. Thamud denied the truth in their arrogance when the most wretched of them rose up. Their messenger told them: this is the she-camel of Allah, let her drink. They denied him and killed her, so their Lord destroyed them and levelled them, and He does not fear the outcome.
