Surah “The Dawn, Daybreak”

as rendered by The Wise Quran Project — 30 verses

89:1
By the dawn.
89:2
By ten nights.
89:3
By the even and the odd.
89:4
By the night when it spreads.
89:5
Is there in that an oath for a possessor of understanding?
89:6
Did you not see how your Lord did with 'Ad,
89:7
Iram, possessors of the columns,
89:8
The like of which was not created in the lands,
89:9
And Thamud, those who hollowed out the rocks in the valley,
89:10
And Pharaoh, the possessor of the stakes?
89:11
Those who were immoderate in the lands,
89:12
Then they multiplied corruption in them.
89:13
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
89:14
Indeed, your Lord is surely in the place of watching.
89:15
So as for man, when his Lord tests him, then honours him and favours him, then he says, 'My Lord honoured me.'
89:16
And as for when He tests him, then straitens for him his provision, then he says, 'My Lord abased me.'
89:17
Not so, nay, you do not honour the orphan.
89:18
And you do not urge one another on the food of the poor person.
89:19
And you consume the inheritance, collecting, consuming.
89:20
And you love wealth, much love.
89:21
Not so, when the earth is crushed, crushing, crushing.
89:22
And your Lord comes and the angels row by row.
89:23
And hell is brought on that day. On that day man will remember. And how will he have the reminder?
89:24
He will say, 'O I wish I sent forward for my life.'
89:25
So on that day no one will punish as His punishing,
89:26
And no one will bind as His binding.
89:27
O at ease soul!
89:28
Return to your Lord, pleased, pleasing.
89:29
So enter among My servants,
89:30
And enter My garden.
