Chapter 89 - "The Daybreak"

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

89.1: I swear by the daybreak,

89.2: And the ten nights,

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.
