---|
89:1 | | And (by) the dawn |
89:2 | | And (by) the ten nights, (Commonly understood to be the First ten night of the pilgrimage) |
89:3 | | And (by) the Even and the Odd |
89:4 | | And (by) the night when it departs, (Or: sets forth passing away) |
89:5 | | Is there in that an oath for a sensible person? (Literally: person owning sense) |
89:6 | | Have you not seen how your Lord has done with Aad |
89:7 | | Iram comprising the columns, (i.e., It is the city of Aad, who were stalwart and huge buildings) |
89:8 | | The like of which was not created in the lands |
89:9 | | And (with) Tham?d? who carved out the rocks in the valley |
89:10 | | And (with) Firaawn, (Pharaoh) owning the bulwarks? (Or: stakes) |
89:11 | | (They) who tyrannized in the lands |
89:12 | | So they worked much corruption therein |
89:13 | | Then your Lord poured on them the scourge of torment |
89:14 | | Surely your Lord is indeed Ever-Observing |
89:15 | | Then, as for man, just when his Lord tries him, so He honors him, and showers His favors on him, then he says, "My Lord has honored me." |
89:16 | | And just when He tries him, so He determines for him the right estimate of his provision, then he says, "My Lord has degraded me." |
89:17 | | Not at all! No indeed, (but) you do not honor the orphan |
89:18 | | And you do not urge one another on (offering) food to the indigent |
89:19 | | And you eat the heritage with indiscriminate eating |
89:20 | | And you love wealth with an ardent love |
89:21 | | Not at all, When the earth is pounded (into powder), pounding, pounding |
89:22 | | And your Lord comes, and the Angels rank on rank |
89:23 | | And Hell is made to come (face to face) upon that Day, man will remember, upon that Day, and however will the Reminding (avail) him |
89:24 | | He will say, "Oh would that I had forwarded some good for my (future) life!" |
89:25 | | So, upon that Day none will torment as He torments, (Literally: "as" His tormenting) |
89:26 | | And none will bind (as) His binding |
89:27 | | O you self (that is) composed |
89:28 | | Return to your Lord satisfied with Supreme Satisfaction |
89:29 | | So enter among My bondmen |
89:30 | | And enter My Garden |
