89-1 : In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the Dawn |
89-2 : And ten nights, |
89-3 : And the Even and the Odd, |
89-4 : And the night when it departeth, |
89-5 : There surely is an oath for thinking man. |
89-6 : Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad, |
89-7 : With many - columned Iram, |
89-8 : The like of which was not created in the lands; |
89-9 : And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley; |
89-10 : And with Pharaoh, firm of might, |
89-11 : Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands, |
89-12 : And multiplied iniquity therein ? |
89-13 : Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment. |
89-14 : Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful. |
89-15 : As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me. |
89-16 : But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me. |
89-17 : Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan |
89-18 : And urge not on the feeding of the poor. |
89-19 : And ye devour heritages with devouring greed. |
89-20 : And love wealth with abounding love. |
89-21 : Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding, |
89-22 : And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank, |
89-23 : And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him) ? |
89-24 : He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life! |
89-25 : None punisheth as He will punish on that day! |
89-26 : None bindeth as He then will bind. |
89-27 : But ah! thou soul at peace! |
89-28 : Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure! |
89-29 : Enter thou among My bondmen! |
89-30 : Enter thou My Garden! |
