| 89:1 | | By the dawn |
| 89:2 | | and the ten nights |
| 89:3 | | and the even and the odd |
| 89:4 | | and the night when it travels. |
| 89:5 | | For one who has sense, these (items) are surely worth being sworn by. |
| 89:6 | | Did you not see how your Fosterer dealt with Aad, |
| 89:7 | | people of Iram, possessors of (lofty buildings supported by) pillars, |
| 89:8 | | the like of which was not created in (other) cities, |
| 89:9 | | and Samood who cut the rocks in the valley, |
| 89:10 | | and Firawn, possessor of pegs, |
| 89:11 | | who rebelled in the cities? |
| 89:12 | | Thus they increased corruption in them. |
| 89:13 | | So your Fosterer poured on them a portion of the punishment. |
| 89:14 | | Your Fosterer is certainly watchfully waiting. |
| 89:15 | | So as for man, whenever his Fosterer tries him by honouring him and favouring him, then he says, “My Fosterer has honoured me.” |
| 89:16 | | And as for (the situation) when He tries him by straitening on him his provision, he says, “My Fosterer has disgraced me.” |
| 89:17 | | No, but the orphan is not honoured by you, |
| 89:18 | | and you do not urge one another on the feeding of the poor, |
| 89:19 | | and you eat off the inheritance, eating it greedily, |
| 89:20 | | and you love wealth with intense love. |
| 89:21 | | No, when the earth is crushed to level it in a level, |
| 89:22 | | and your Fosterer comes with the angels in rank after rank, |
| 89:23 | | so on that day, hell will be brought near, (and) on that day man will be mindful. But his being mindful (on that day) will be of no use to him. |
| 89:24 | | He will say, "I wish I had sent (good deeds) before, for my life (after death). |
| 89:25 | | So on that day, no one’s punishment will be like His punishment, |
| 89:26 | | and no one's binding will be like His binding. |
| 89:27 | | O you peaceful soul! |
| 89:28 | | Return to your Fosterer pleased and pleasing (Him), |
| 89:29 | | so enter among My servants, |
| 89:30 | | and enter My garden. |
