89: Al-Fajr (الفجر)
1: I swear by the daybreak,
2: And the ten nights,
3: And the even and the odd,
4: And the night when it departs.
5: Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.
6: Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,
7: (The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings,
8: The like of which were not created in the (other) cities;
9: And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley,
10: And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts,
11: Who committed inordinacy in the cities,
12: So they made great mischief therein?
13: Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement.
14: Most surely your Lord is watching.
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.
16: But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.
17: Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,
18: Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,
19: And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately,
20: And you love wealth with exceeding love.
21: Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,
22: And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,
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?
24: He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life!
25: But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement,
26: And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.
27: O soul that art at rest!
28: Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him),
29: So enter among My servants,
30: And enter into My garden.
