89:1  By the dawn

89:2  and the ten nights

89:3  and the even and the odd

89:4  and by the night when it departs

89:5  Is there in this an oath for one endowed with understanding

89:6  Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with A

89:7  of Iram, known for their lofty columns

89:8  the like of whom no nation was ever created in the lands of the world

89:9  And how did He deal with Thamud who hewed out rocks in the valley

89:10  And with Pharaoh of the tent peg

89:11  who transgressed in the countries of the worl

89:12  spreading in them much corruption

89:13  Then their Lord unloosed upon them the lash of chastisement

89:14  Truly your Lord is ever watchful

89:15  As for man, when his Lord tests him by exalting him and bestowing His bounties upon him, he says: "My Lord has exalted me."

89:16  But when He tests him by straitening his sustenance, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me."

89:17  But no; you do not treat the orphan honourably

89:18  and do not urge one another to feed the poor

89:19  and greedily devour the entire inheritance

89:20  and love the riches, loving them ardently

89:21  But no; when the earth is ground to powder

89:22  and when your Lord appears with rows upon rows of angels

89:23  and when Hell is brought near that Day. On that Day will man understand, but of what avail will that understanding be

89:24  He will say: "Would that I had sent ahead what would be of avail for this life of mine!"

89:25  Then on that Day Allah will chastise as none other can chastise

89:26  and Allah will bind as none other can bind

89:27  (On the other hand it will be said): "O serene soul

89:28  Return to your Lord well-pleased (with your blissful destination), well-pleasing (to your Lord)

89:29  So enter among My (righteous) servant

89:30  and enter My Paradise."
