Chapter 89
In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
89:1 By the dawn.
89:2 And ten nights.
89:3 And the even and the odd.
89:4 And the night when it passes.
89:5 Is there in that an oath for one with intelligence?
89:6 Did you not note what your Lord did to 'Aad?
89:7 Irum, with the great columns?
89:8 The one which was like no other in the land?
89:9 And Thamud who carved the rocks in the valley?
89:10 And Pharaoh with the planks?
89:11 They all transgressed in the land.
89:12 And made much corruption therein.
89:13 So your Lord poured upon them a measure of retribution.
89:14 Your Lord is ever watchful.
89:15 As for the human being, if his Lord tests him and is generous to him, then he says: "My Lord is generous to me!"
89:16 And if his Lord tests him and gives him little wealth, then he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!"
89:17 No-you are not generous to the orphan.
89:18 And you do not look to feeding the poor.
89:19 And you consume others inheritance, all with greed.
89:20 And you love money, a love that is excessive.
89:21 Alas, when the earth is pounded into rubble.
89:22 And your Lord comes with the angels row after row.
89:23 And Hell on that Day is brought. On that Day the human being will remember, but how will the remembrance now help him?
89:24 He says: "I wish I had worked towards my life!"
89:25 On that Day, no other will bear his punishment.
89:26 And none will be able to free his bonds.
89:27 "O you soul which is peaceful."
89:28 "Return to your Lord happy and content."
89:29 "And enter in among My servants."
89:30 "And enter My Paradise."
