|---|
| 89:1 | | By the dawn |
| 89:2 | | by the Ten (secret) Nights |
| 89:3 | | by the odd and even (8th and 9th Dhil-hajj |
| 89:4 | | and by the night when it moves on towards daybreak (reward and retribution in the next life is an absolute reality) |
| 89:5 | | Is this not a sufficient oath for intelligent people |
| 89:6 | | (Muhammad), consider how your Lord dealt with the tribe of Ad |
| 89:7 | | the people of the huge columned city of Era |
| 89:8 | | whose like has never been created in any other land |
| 89:9 | | (Also consider how He dealt with) the Thamud, who carved their houses out of the rocks in the valley |
| 89:10 | | (Also consider the people of) the Pharaoh who victimized people by placing them on the stake |
| 89:11 | | led rebellious lives |
| 89:12 | | and spread much corruption in the land |
| 89:13 | | Thus, your Lord afflicted them with torment |
| 89:14 | | your Lord keeps an eye on (all evil-doing people) |
| 89:15 | | As for the human being, when his Lord tests him, honors him, and grants him bounty, he says, "God has honored me" |
| 89:16 | | However, when his Lord tests him by a measured amount of sustenance , he says, "God has disgraced me" |
| 89:17 | | (Since wealth does not necessarily guarantee everlasting happiness) then why do you not show kindness to the orphans |
| 89:18 | | or urge one another to feed the destitute |
| 89:19 | | Why do you take away the inheritance of others indiscriminatel |
| 89:20 | | and why do you have an excessive love of riches |
| 89:21 | | When the earth is crushed into small piece |
| 89:22 | | and (when you find yourself) in the presence of your Lord and the rows and rows of angels, your greed for riches will certainly be of no avail to you |
| 89:23 | | On that day, hell will be brought closer and the human being will come to his senses, but this will be of no avail to him |
| 89:24 | | He will say, "Would that I had done some good deeds for this life" |
| 89:25 | | On that day the punishment of God and His detention will be unparalleled |
| 89:26 | | And His bonds will be such as none other can bind |
| 89:27 | | Serene soul |
| 89:28 | | return to your Lord well pleased with him and He will be pleased with you |
| 89:29 | | Enter among My servant |
| 89:30 | | into My Paradise |
