| 89:1 | | By the Dawn |
| 89:2 | | by the Ten Nights |
| 89:3 | | by the even and the odd |
| 89:4 | | and by the passing night |
| 89:5 | | is there not in this strong evidence for a man of sense |
| 89:6 | | Have you not heard of how your Lord dealt with the tribe of Ad |
| 89:7 | | the people of Iram, the city of many pillars |
| 89:8 | | the like of which has never been created in the land |
| 89:9 | | and with the Thamud, who cut out [huge] rocks in the valley |
| 89:10 | | and with Pharaoh of the stakes |
| 89:11 | | All of them committed excesses in their lands |
| 89:12 | | and caused much corruption in them |
| 89:13 | | so your Lord unleashed on them the scourge of punishment |
| 89:14 | | for, indeed, your Sustainer is ever on the watch |
| 89:15 | | As for man, when his Lord tests him, through honour and blessings, he says, My Lord has honoured me |
| 89:16 | | but when He tests him by straitening his means of livelihood, he says, My Lord has disgraced me |
| 89:17 | | No indeed, but you show no kindness to the orphan |
| 89:18 | | nor do you urge one another to feed the poor |
| 89:19 | | and you greedily devour the inheritance of the weak |
| 89:20 | | and you have a love of wealth which can never be satisfied |
| 89:21 | | No indeed! When the earth is crushed and ground to dust |
| 89:22 | | when your Lord comes down with the angels, rank upon rank |
| 89:23 | | and Hell is made to appear on that Day, then man will be mindful, but what will being mindful then avail him |
| 89:24 | | He will say, Oh, would that I had provided beforehand for my life |
| 89:25 | | On that Day no one will punish as He punishes |
| 89:26 | | and none can bind with bonds like His |
| 89:27 | | [But to the righteous, God will say], O soul at peace |
| 89:28 | | return to your Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing |
| 89:29 | | Join My servants |
| 89:30 | | Enter My Paradise |
