89:1 (I swear) by the dawn,

89:2 and the (first) ten nights (of Dhul-Hijja),

89:3 and (by) the even (number) and the odd,

89:4 and by the night when it departs!

89:5 Is there not in these  an oath (enough evidence) for those who use their common sense?

89:6 Have you (O' Prophet  ﷺ) not seen how your Lord dealt with (the people of) Aad?

89:7 (And) the residents of Iram, the city of lofty pillars,

89:8 Such that the likes of them had never been raised in other cities.

89:9 And Thamûd who carved (their homes in) the rocks in the (Stone) Valley.

89:10 And with the Pharaoh, who had formidable strongholds?

89:11 All of them committed excesses in their lands,

89:12 and spread corruption there in.

89:13 So, your Lord afflicted them with torment.

89:14 Surely your Lord is ever watchful.

89:15 Such is man! When his Lord puts him through a test by granting him honor and a life of ease, he says, 'My Lord has honored me!'

89:16 And when His Lord tests him by restricting his means of livelihood, he says, 'My Lord has disgraced me!'

89:17 Absolutely not! In fact, you (O' People) are not (even) gracious to an orphan,

89:18 nor do you encourage each other in feeding the poor!

89:19 Greedily, you (misappropriate and) devour the inheritance ( of the weak, the widows and the orphans),

89:20 and you love wealth with all your hearts.

89:21 No, indeed! When the earth is crushed, pounded and crushed.

89:22 And your Lord (Tajalli-e-Elahi) comes along with angels ranked in rows.

89:23 And Hell is brought forth on that Day. This is when every (disbelieving) person will remember (their sins). But what is the use of remembering then?

89:24 The (disbeliever) will cry, 'I wish I had sent forth (something good) for my (after) life.'

89:25 No one can punish (the deniers as severely) as Allah will, that day!

89:26 And none will shackle as severely as Allah shackles (the deniers that day).

89:27 (The righteous would be told), 'O Satisfied Self',  

89:28 return to your Lord, well pleased (with Him) and well pleasing (to Him),  

89:29 'join My (honored) servants!,  

89:30 and enter My Paradise.'
