89:1  I swear by (or call to witness) the daw
89:2  And by the nights twice five (of pilgrimage)
89:3  And the even and the odd
89:4  And the night when it passes on
89:5  Is there not in these a lesson (evidence or admonition) for a man of understanding
89:6  Have you not seen how your Lord did with the people of A´ad
89:7  With the city of Iram of the lofty pillars
89:8  The like of which has not been created in all the land
89:9  And with the people of Thamud when they hewed the great stones in the valley
89:10  And with Pharaoh, Lord of the stakes
89:11  All these were outrageous in the land
89:12  And did multiply wickedness therein
89:13  Therefore, your Lord poured out upon them the scourge of diverse torments
89:14  Verily, your Lord is ever watchful
89:15  Now as for man, whenever his Lord tries him and honours him and grants him favour, then he says, "My Lord has honoured me"
89:16  But whenever he tries him and restricts his subsistence, then he says, "My Lord despises me!"
89:17  Nay, nay! But you do not honour the orphan
89:18  Nor do you urge each other to feed the poor
89:19  And you devour the inheritance (of the weak) with greed
89:20  And you love wealth with an abounding love
89:21  Nay, when the earth is crushed to pieces
89:22  And your Lord comes with the angels, rank on rank
89:23  And Hell is brought near on that Day, on that Day shall man remember! But how shall the remembrance profit him
89:24  He will say, "Would that I had sent something forward for my life!"
89:25  But on that Day none shall punish as He punishes
89:26  And none shall be bound with bonds like his
89:27  But O, you soul in peace and fulfilment
89:28  Return unto your Lord, well pleased and well pleasing unto Him
89:29  Enter you amongst My servants
89:30  Enter you My Garden (Paradise)
