"The Daybreak"
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
"89.1": I swear by the daybreak,
"89.2": And the ten nights,
"89.3": And the even and the odd,
"89.4": And the night when it departs.
"89.5": Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.
"89.6": Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,
"89.7": (The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings,
"89.8": The like of which were not created in the (other) cities;
"89.9": And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley,
"89.10": And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts,
"89.11": Who committed inordinacy in the cities,
"89.12": So they made great mischief therein?
"89.13": Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement.
"89.14": Most sure!y your Lord is watching.
"89.15": And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me.
"89.16": But when He tries him (differently), then straightens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.
"89.17": Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,
"89.18": Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,
"89.19": And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately,
"89.20": And you love wealth with exceeding love.
"89.21": Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,
"89.22": And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,
"89.23": And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him?
"89.24": He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life!
"89.25": But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement,
"89.26": And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.
"89.27": O soul that art at rest!
"89.28": Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him),
"89.29": So enter among My servants,
"89.30": And enter into My garden.
