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.
