89:3
by that which is even and that which is odd,
89:4
by the night as it journeys on!
89:5
Is there not in that an oath for a man of sense?
89:6
Have you not heard how your Lord dealt with the 'Ä€d,
89:7
the people of Iram, the many- pillared [city],
89:8
the like of whom has never been created in the whole land?
89:9
And with the Thamūd, who hollowed out rocks in the valley?
89:10
And with Pharaoh, of the tent- pegs?
89:11
They were all transgressors throughout their lands,
89:12
bringing about much corruption there.
89:13
Therefore, your Lord let loose on them the scourge of suffering.
89:14

89:15
As for man, whenever his Lord tries him by His generosity and with a life of ease, he says, 'My Lord is bountiful to me.'
89:16
But whenever He tries him by stinting his means, he says, 'My Lord has disgraced me.'

No indeed; but you are not generous towards the orphan,
89:18
nor do you urge one another to feed the needy.
89:19

89:22
and your Lord comes, with the angels rank on rank,
89:23

89:24
He shall say, 'Oh, would that I had prepared for my life!'
89:25
On that day, none will punish as He punishes,
89:26
and none will bind with chains as He binds. (2
89:28
Return to your Lord, well pleased and well pleasing.
89:29
Enter, then, together with My servants!
89:30
Enter My paradise!'
