  1. 89:1

    By the Dawn,

  2. 89:2

    by the ten nights,

  3. 89:3

    by the Even and the Odd,

  4. 89:4

    by the night when it departs!

  5. 89:5

    Is there an oath in that for one possessing intellect?

  6. 89:6

    Have you not regarded how your Lord dealt with [the people of] ‘Ad,

  7. 89:7

    [and] Iram, [the city] of the pillars,

  8. 89:8

    the like of which was not created among cities,

  9. 89:9

    and [the people of] Thamud, who hollowed out the rocks in the valley,

  10. 89:10

    and Pharaoh, the impaler

  11. 89:11

    —those who rebelled [against Allah] in their cities

  12. 89:12

    and caused much corruption in them,

  13. 89:13

    so your Lord poured on them lashes of punishment.

  14. 89:14

    Indeed your Lord is in ambush.

  15. 89:15

    As for man, whenever his Lord tests him, and grants him honour, and blesses him, he says, ‘My Lord has honoured me.’

  16. 89:16

    But when He tests him and tightens for him his provision, he says, ‘My Lord has humiliated me.’

  17. 89:17

    No indeed! No, you do not honour the orphan,

  18. 89:18

    and do not urge the feeding of the needy.

  19. 89:19

    You eat the inheritance rapaciously,

  20. 89:20

    and love wealth with much fondness.

  21. 89:21

    No indeed! When the earth is levelled to a plain,

  22. 89:22

    and your Lord [’s edict] arrives with the angels in ranks,

  23. 89:23

    the day when hell is brought [near], man will take admonition on that day, but what will that admonition avail him?

  24. 89:24

    He will say, ‘Alas, had I sent ahead for my life [in the Hereafter]!’

  25. 89:25

    On that day none shall punish as He punishes,

  26. 89:26

    and none shall bind as He binds.

  27. 89:27

    ‘O soul at peace!

  28. 89:28

    Return to your Lord, pleased and pleasing!

  29. 89:29

    Then enter among My servants,

  30. 89:30

    and enter My paradise!’
