| Sura - 89 Dawn | |||
| In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | |||
| 1 | [ 89: 1 ] By the dawn. | ||
| 2 | [ 89: 2 ] And the ten nights. | ||
| 3 | [ 89: 3 ] By the even and the odd. | ||
| 4 | [ 89: 4 ] By the night as it passes. | ||
| 5 | [ 89: 5 ] A profound oath, for one who possesses intelligence. | ||
| 6 | [ 89: 6 ] Have you noted what your Lord did to `Aad? | ||
| 7 | [ 89: 7 ] Erum; the town with tall buildings. | ||
| 8 | [ 89: 8 ] There was nothing like it anywhere. | ||
| 9 | [ 89: 9 ] Also Thamoud, who carved the rocks in their valley. | ||
| 10 | [ 89: 10 ] And Pharaoh who possessed might. | ||
| 11 | [ 89: 11 ] They all transgressed in the land. | ||
| 12 | [ 89: 12 ] They spread evil throughout. | ||
| 13 | [ 89: 13 ] Consequently, your Lord poured upon them a whipping retribution. | ||
| 14 | [ 89: 14 ] Your Lord is ever watchful. | ||
| 15 | [ 89: 15 ] When the human being is tested by his Lord, through blessings and joy, he says, " My Lord is generous towards me. " | ||
| 16 | [ 89: 16 ] But if He tests him through reduction in provisions, he says, " My Lord is humiliating me! " | ||
| 17 | [ 89: 17 ] Wrong! It is you who brought it on yourselves by not regarding the orphan. | ||
| 18 | [ 89: 18 ] And not advocating charity towards the poor. | ||
| 19 | [ 89: 19 ] And consuming the inheritance of helpless orphans. | ||
| 20 | [ 89: 20 ] And loving the money too much. | ||
| 21 | [ 89: 21 ] Indeed, when the earth is crushed, utterly crushed. | ||
| 22 | [ 89: 22 ] And your Lord comes, together with the angels in row after row. | ||
| 23 | [ 89: 23 ] On that day, Gehenna will be brought forth. On that day, the human being will remember - but what a remembrance - it will be too late. | ||
| 24 | [ 89: 24 ] He will say, " Oh, I wish I prepared for my ( eternal ) life. " | ||
| 25 | [ 89: 25 ] On that day, no retribution could be worse than His retribution. | ||
| 26 | [ 89: 26 ] And no confinement is as effective as His confinement. | ||
| 27 | [ 89: 27 ] As for you, O content soul. | ||
| 28 | [ 89: 28 ] Return to your Lord, pleased and pleasing. | ||
| 29 | [ 89: 29 ] Welcome into My servants. | ||
| 30 | [ 89: 30 ] Welcome into My Paradise. | ||
