91. THE SUN

The Sun

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. 1. By the sun and its light, 2. and the moon when it reflects it, 3. and the day when it unveils it, 4. and the night when it covers it, 5. and the sky and Him Who built it, 6. and the earth and Him Who spread it, 7. and the soul and Him Who balanced it, 8. then inspired in it, its transgressions and its guarding (against evils) { 1 }. 9. He indeed succeeds who purifies it 10. and he indeed fails who buries it { 2 }. 11. Samood denied (the truth) due to their rebellion, 12. when the most wretched of them broke forth. 13. The messenger of Allah told them, It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink. 14. But they denied him and slaughtered her so their Fosterer destroyed them due to their sin and thus balanced it (the destruction was equal to their crime). 15. And He does not fear its consequence. (R 1)
