In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent,
the Merciful.
[89.1]
I swear by the daybreak,
[89.3]
And the even and the odd,
[89.4]
And the night when it departs.
[89.5]
Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.
[89.6]
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,
[89.7]
(The people of) Aram,
possessors of lofty buildings,
[89.8]
The like of which were not created in the (other) cities;
[89.9]
And (with) Samood,
who hewed out the rocks in the valley,
[89.10]
And (with) Firon,
the lord of hosts,
[89.11]
Who committed inordinacy in the cities,
[89.12]
So they made great mischief therein?
[89.13]
Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement.
[89.14]
Most sure!
y your Lord is watching.
[89.15]
And as for man,
when his Lord tries him,
then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life,
he says:
My Lord honors me.
[89.16]
But when He tries him (differently),
then straitens to him his means of subsistence,
he says:
My Lord has disgraced me.
[89.17]
Nay!
but you do not honor the orphan,
[89.18]
Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,
[89.19]
And you eat away the heritage,
devouring (everything) indiscriminately,
[89.20]
And you love wealth with exceeding love.
[89.21]
Nay!
when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,
[89.22]
And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,
[89.23]
And hell is made to appear on that day.
On that day shall man be mindful,
and what shall being mindful (then) avail him?
[89.24]
He shall say:
O!
would that I had sent before for (this) my life!
[89.25]
But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement,
[89.26]
And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.
[89.27]
O soul that art at rest!
[89.28]
Return to your Lord,
well-pleased (with him),
well-pleasing (Him),
[89.29]
So enter among My servants,
[89.30]
And enter into My garden.
