    By the dawn

  2. 89:2

    And [by] ten nights

  3. 89:3

    And [by] the even [number] and the odd

  4. 89:4

    And [by] the night when it passes,

  5. 89:5

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

  6. 89:6

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

  7. 89:7

    [With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,

  8. 89:8

    The likes of whom had never been created in the land?

  9. 89:9

    And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?

  10. 89:10

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

  11. 89:11

    [All of] whom oppressed within the lands

  12. 89:12

    And increased therein the corruption.

  13. 89:13

    So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

  14. 89:14

    Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

  15. 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."

  16. 89:16

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

  17. 89:17

    No! But you do not honor the orphan

  18. 89:18

    And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.

  19. 89:19

    And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,

  20. 89:20

    And you love wealth with immense love.

  21. 89:21

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

  22. 89:22

    And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,

  23. 89:23

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

  24. 89:24

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

  25. 89:25

    So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,

  26. 89:26

    And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].

  27. 89:27

    [To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,

  28. 89:28

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

  29. 89:29

    And enter among My [righteous] servants

  30. 89:30

    And enter My Paradise."
