|---|
| 89:1 | | By the daybreak |
| 89:2 | | And ten nights |
| 89:3 | | And the even and the odd |
| 89:4 | | And the night as it recedes |
| 89:5 | | Is there in this an oath for a rational person |
| 89:6 | | Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with Aad |
| 89:7 | | Erum of the pillars |
| 89:8 | | The like of which was never created in the land |
| 89:9 | | And Thamood—those who carved the rocks in the valley |
| 89:10 | | And Pharaoh of the Stakes |
| 89:11 | | Those who committed excesses in the lands |
| 89:12 | | And spread much corruption therein |
| 89:13 | | So your Lord poured down upon them a scourge of punishment |
| 89:14 | | Your Lord is on the lookout |
| 89:15 | | As for man, whenever his Lord tests him, and honors him, and prospers him, he says, 'My Lord has honored me.' |
| 89:16 | | But whenever He tests him, and restricts his livelihood for him, he says, 'My Lord has insulted me.' |
| 89:17 | | Not at all. But you do not honor the orphan |
| 89:18 | | And you do not urge the feeding of the poor |
| 89:19 | | And you devour inheritance with all greed |
| 89:20 | | And you love wealth with immense love |
| 89:21 | | No—when the earth is leveled, pounded, and crushed |
| 89:22 | | And your Lord comes, with the angels, row after row |
| 89:23 | | And on that Day, Hell is brought forward. On that Day, man will remember, but how will remembrance avail him |
| 89:24 | | He will say, 'If only I had forwarded for my life.' |
| 89:25 | | On that Day, none will punish as He punishes |
| 89:26 | | And none will shackle as He shackles |
| 89:27 | | But as for you, O tranquil soul |
| 89:28 | | Return to your Lord, pleased and accepted |
| 89:29 | | Enter among My servants |
| 89:30 | | Enter My Paradise |
