Chapter 89 (Sura 89)
1; I CALL TO witness the dawn
2; And the Ten Nights,
3; The multiple and the one,
4; The night as it advances,
5; Is there not an evidence in this for those who have sense?
6; Have you not seen what your Lord did to the ´Ad
7; Of Eram with lofty pillars (erected as signposts in the desert),
8; The like of whom were never created in the realm;
9; And with Thamud who carved rocks in the valley;
10; And the mighty Pharaoh
11; Who terrorised the region,
12; And multiplied corruption.
13; So your Lord poured a scourge of punishment over them.
14; Your Lord is certainly in wait.
15; As for man, whenever his Lord tries him and then is gracious and provides good things for him, he says: “My Lord has been gracious to me.”
16; But when He tries him by restraining his means, he says: “My Lord despises me.”
17; No. In fact you are not generous to the orphans,
18; Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,
19; And you devour (others´) inheritance greedily,
20; And love wealth with all your heart.
21; Surely when We pound the earth to powder grounded, pounded to dust,
22; And comes your Lord, and angels row on row,
23; And Hell is brought near, that day will man remember, but of what avail will then remembering be?
24; He will say: “Alas the woe! Would that I had sent ahead something in my life.”
25; None can punish as He will punish on that day,
26; And none can bind as He will bind.
27; O you tranquil soul,
28; Return to your Lord, well-pleased and well-pleasing Him.
29; “Enter then among My votaries,
30; Enter then My garden.”
