| 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." |
