In the name of Allah,
the Gracious, the Merciful
- By the daybreak.
- And ten nights.
- And the even and the odd.
- And the night as it recedes.
- Is there in this an oath for a rational person?
- Have you not seen how your Lord dealt
with Aad? - Erum of the pillars.
- The like of which was never created in the
land. - And Thamood—those who carved the
rocks in the valley. - And Pharaoh of the Stakes.
- Those who committed excesses in the
lands. - And spread much corruption therein.
- So your Lord poured down upon them a
scourge of punishment. - Your Lord is on the lookout.
- As for man, whenever his Lord tests him,
and honors him, and prospers him, he says,
“My Lord has honored me.” - But whenever He tests him, and restricts
his livelihood for him, he says, “My Lord has
insulted me.” - Not at all. But you do not honor the orphan.
- And you do not urge the feeding of the
poor. - And you devour inheritance with all greed.
- And you love wealth with immense love.
- No—when the earth is leveled, pounded,
and crushed. - And your Lord comes, with the angels, row
after row. - And on that Day, Hell is brought forward.
On that Day, man will remember, but how
will remembrance avail him? - He will say, “If only I had forwarded for my
life.” - On that Day, none will punish as He punishes.
- And none will shackle as He shackles.
- But as for you, O tranquil soul.
- Return to your Lord, pleased and accepted.
- Enter among My servants.
- Enter My Paradise.
