89-1 : By the dawn

89-2 : And [by] ten nights

89-3 : And [by] the even [number] and the odd

89-4 : And [by] the night when it passes,

89-5 : Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?

89-6 : Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -

89-7 : [With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,

89-8 : The likes of whom had never been created in the land?

89-9 : And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?

89-10 : And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -

89-11 : [All of] whom oppressed within the lands

89-12 : And increased therein the corruption.

89-13 : So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

89-14 : Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

89-15 : And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."

89-16 : But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."

89-17 : No! But you do not honor the orphan

89-18 : And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.

89-19 : And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,

89-20 : And you love wealth with immense love.

89-21 : No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -

89-22 : And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,

89-23 : And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?

89-24 : He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."

89-25 : So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,

89-26 : And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].

89-27 : [To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,

89-28 : Return to your Lord, well - pleased and pleasing [to Him],

89-29 : And enter among My [righteous] servants

89-30 : And enter My Paradise."
