About Surah Ash-Shams
Ash-Shams, “The Sun”, contains eleven consecutive oaths – by the sun, the moon, the day, the night, the sky, the earth and the soul – leading to its central message: “He has succeeded who purifies it, and he has failed who corrupts it.”
It then tells of the people of Thamud, who disobeyed the Prophet Salih and hamstrung the she-camel of Allah, and were destroyed.
