DAY 81: Shams 1-15

•  (Consider)  the sun and its brightness, and the moon as it follows it, and the day as it unveils it, and the night as it conceals it! (Consider)  the sky, and the One who built it, and the earth and (the One) Who spread it! (Consider) the soul and (the One) who fashioned it, then with (the knowledge of) right and wrong inspired it! Successful indeed is the one who purifies his soul,  and doomed is the one who corrupts it!  Thamûd rejected ˹the truth˺ out of arrogance, when the most wicked of them was roused ˹to kill the she-camel˺. But the messenger of Allah warned them, “˹Do not disturb˺ Allah’s camel and her ˹turn to˺ drink!” , Still they defied him and slaughtered her. So their Lord crushed them for their crime, levelling all to the ground. He did not hesitate to punish them.

      Allah’s Signs in Nature: The sun, moon, and earth are proofs of His power.
      Moral Responsibility: Humans are given free will and must choose righteousness.
      Consequences of Arrogance: The story of Thamud warns against rejecting divine guidance.
      Success vs. Failure: Purifying the soul leads to success, while corrupting it brings ruin.
  
  Surah Ash-Shams teaches that true success comes from purifying the soul through righteousness, while corruption leads to ruin—just as the arrogant Thamud were destroyed for rejecting divine guidance.
