Surah “The Dawn, Daybreak”

as rendered by Talal Itani (2012) — 30 verses

89:1
By the daybreak
89:2
And ten nights
89:3
And the even and the odd
89:4
And the night as it recedes
89:5
Is there in this an oath for a rational person
89:6
Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with Aad
89:7
Erum of the pillars
89:8
The like of which was never created in the land
89:9
And Thamood—those who carved the rocks in the valley
89:10
And Pharaoh of the Stakes
89:11
Those who committed excesses in the lands
89:12
And spread much corruption therein
89:13
So your Lord poured down upon them a scourge of punishment
89:14
Your Lord is on the lookout
89:15
As for man, whenever his Lord tests him, and honors him, and prospers him, he says, 'My Lord has honored me.'
89:16
But whenever He tests him, and restricts his livelihood for him, he says, 'My Lord has insulted me.'
89:17
Not at all. But you do not honor the orphan
89:18
And you do not urge the feeding of the poor
89:19
And you devour inheritance with all greed
89:20
And you love wealth with immense love
89:21
No—when the earth is leveled, pounded, and crushed
89:22
And your Lord comes, with the angels, row after row
89:23
And on that Day, Hell is brought forward. On that Day, man will remember, but how will remembrance avail him
89:24
He will say, 'If only I had forwarded for my life.'
89:25
On that Day, none will punish as He punishes
89:26
And none will shackle as He shackles
89:27
But as for you, O tranquil soul
89:28
Return to your Lord, pleased and accepted
89:29
Enter among My servants
89:30
Enter My Paradise
