| 89:1 | | By the dawn |
| 89:2 | | And the ten nights |
| 89:3 | | By the even and the odd |
| 89:4 | | By the night as it passes |
| 89:5 | | A profound oath, for one who possesses intelligence |
| 89:6 | | Have you noted what your Lord did to `Aad |
| 89:7 | | Erum; the town with tall buildings |
| 89:8 | | There was nothing like it anywhere |
| 89:9 | | Also Thamoud, who carved the rocks in their valley |
| 89:10 | | And Pharaoh who possessed might |
| 89:11 | | They all transgressed in the land |
| 89:12 | | They spread evil throughout |
| 89:13 | | Consequently, your Lord poured upon them a whipping retribution |
| 89:14 | | Your Lord is ever watchful |
| 89:15 | | When the human being is tested by his Lord, through blessings and joy, he says, "My Lord is generous towards me." |
| 89:16 | | But if He tests him through reduction in provisions, he says, "My Lord is humiliating me!" |
| 89:17 | | Wrong! It is you who brought it on yourselves by not regarding the orphan |
| 89:18 | | And not advocating charity towards the poor |
| 89:19 | | And consuming the inheritance of helpless orphans |
| 89:20 | | And loving the money too much |
| 89:21 | | Indeed, when the earth is crushed, utterly crushed |
| 89:22 | | And your Lord comes, together with the angels in row after row |
| 89:23 | | On that day, Gehenna will be brought forth. On that day, the human being will remember - but what a remembrance - it will be too late |
| 89:24 | | He will say, "Oh, I wish I prepared for my (eternal) life." |
| 89:25 | | On that day, no retribution could be worse than His retribution |
| 89:26 | | And no confinement is as effective as His confinement |
| 89:27 | | As for you, O content soul |
| 89:28 | | Return to your Lord, pleased and pleasing |
| 89:29 | | Welcome into My servants |
| 89:30 | | Welcome into My Paradise |
