[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 departeth,

[89.5] There surely is an oath for thinking man.

[89.6] Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad,

[89.7] With many-columned Iram,

[89.8] The like of which was not created in the lands;

[89.9] And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley;

[89.10] And with Pharaoh, firm of might,

[89.11] Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands,

[89.12] And multiplied iniquity therein ?

[89.13] Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment.

[89.14] Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful.

[89.15] As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me.

[89.16] But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me.

[89.17] Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan

[89.18] And urge not on the feeding of the poor.

[89.19] And ye devour heritages with devouring greed.

[89.20] And love wealth with abounding love.

[89.21] Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding,

[89.22] And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank,

[89.23] And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him) ?

[89.24] He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life!

[89.25] None punisheth as He will punish on that day!

[89.26] None bindeth as He then will bind.

[89.27] But ah! thou soul at peace!

[89.28] Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure!

[89.29] Enter thou among My bondmen!

[89.30] Enter thou My Garden!
