91. The Sun

91 – 26 – 15 – 1

Ash-Shams------The Sun




The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System
It is almost perfectly spherical and consists of hot plasma interwoven with magnetic fields. 

It has a diameter of about 1,392,684 km, about 109 times that of Earth, and its mass (about 2×1030 kilograms, 330,000 times that of Earth) accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.



The Thamūd (Arabicثمود) were a people of ancient Arabia who were known from the 1st millennium BC to near the time of Muhammad
Although they are thought to have originated in southern Arabia, Arabic tradition has them moving north to settle on the slopes of Mount Athlab near Mada'in Saleh

According to the Qur'an, the Thamud were punished and destroyed by a soundwave










Success depends on keeping the soul pure and failure depends
on corrupting it. 

The corrupted people of Thamûd were leveled to the ground.

1 Scene of the first revelation, brought by angel Gabriel to
the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Allah gave him a tour of heavens, paradise and other great signs. 

Lât, Uzza and Manât (goddesses of Arabs) are nothing but
names invented by the pagan Arabs. 

2 The angels have no share in divinity, nor can they intercede without permission.

Disbelievers give the angels female names
Limited interests and knowledge (of this world) of disbelievers. 

Do not claim piety for yourselves, Allah knows who is Godfearing and pious. 

3 No soul shall bear the burden of another; there shall be nothing
for a person except what he strived for.
