Sura Al-Shams from 1 to 14


Sûrat Ash- Shams
( The Sun ) XCI
In the Name of Allâh,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1. By the sun and its brightness.
2. By the moon as it follows it ( the sun ) .
3. By the day as it shows up ( the sun’s ) brightness.
4. By the night as it conceals it ( the sun ) .
5. By the heaven and Him Who built it.
6. By the earth and Him Who spread it.
7. By Nafs ( Adam or a person or a soul ) , and Him Who perfected him in proportion;
8. Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him.
9. Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself ( i.e. obeys and performs all that Allâh ordered, by following the true Faith of Islâmic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds ) .
10. And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself ( i.e. disobeys what Allâh has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islâmic Monotheism or by following polytheism or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds ) .
11. Thamûd ( people ) denied ( their Prophet ) through their transgression ( by rejecting the true Faith of Islâmic Monotheism, and by following polytheism, and by committing every kind of sin ) .
12. When the most wicked man among them went forth ( to kill the she- camel ) .
13. But the Messenger of Allâh [ Sâlih ( as ) ] said to them: « Be cautious! ( Fear the evil end ) . That is the she- camel of Allâh! ( Do not harm it ) and bar it not from having its drink! »
14. Then they denied him and they killed it. So their Lord destroyed them because of their sin, and made them equal in destruction ( i.e. all grades of people, rich and poor, strong and weak, etc. ) !
15. And He ( Allâh ) feared not the consequences thereof.

[1] (V.92:6)
( A ) Al- Husnâ: The Best ( i.e. either Lâ ilâha illallâh none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh ) or a reward from Allâh ( i.e. Allâh will compensate him for what he will spend in Allâh’s Way or bless him with Paradise ) .
( B ) See the footnote of ( V.4:37 ) .

[2] (V.92:8) Narrated ‘Alî (raa) : We were in the company of the Prophet (saas) and he said, "There is none among you but has his place written for him, either in Paradise or in the Hell-fire." We said, "O Allâh’s Messenger! Shall we depend (on this fact and give up work)?" He replied, "No! Carry on doing good deeds, for everybody will find easy (to do) such deeds as will lead him to his destined place." Then the Prophet (saas) recited: "As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allâh and fears Him, and believes in Al-Husnâ. We will make smooth for him the path of ease..." (V.92: 5-10) (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadith No.472).
