By the Sun\n And his (glorious) splendour;\n2. By the Moon\n As she follows him;\n3. By the Day as it\n Shows up (the Sun's) glory;\n4. By the Night as it\n Conceals it;\n5. By the Firmament\n And its (wonderful) structure;\n6. By the Earth\n And its (wide) expanse;\n7. By the Soul,\n And the proportion and order\n Given to it;\n8. And its enlightenment\n As to its wrong\n And its right;\u2014\n9. Truly he succeeds\n That purifies it,\n10. And he fails\n That corrupts it!\n11. The Tham\u016bd (people)\n Rejected (their prophet)\n Through their inordinate\n Wrong-doing.\n12. Behold, the most wicked\n Man among them was\n Deputed (for impiety).\n13. But the apostle of God\n Said to them: \"It is\nA She-camel of God!\n And (bar her not\n From) having her drink!\"\n14. Then they rejected him\n (As a false prophet),\n And they hamstrung her.\n So their Lord, on account\n Of their crime, obliterated\n Their traces and made them\n Equal (in destruction,\n High and low)!\n15. And for Him\n Is no fear\n Of its consequences.","title":"The Holy Quran: S\u016bra XCI. Shams, or The Sun.","type":"page"}
