بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَانِ الرَّحِيْمِ
| Part 30 / Chapter 89 | Chapter 89 / عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُوْنَ | |
| By the dawn | 1 | وَالفَجْرِ |
| by the 10 nights (first 10 days of Dhul-Hijja) | 2 | وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ |
| and by the even and the odd | 3 | وَالشَّفْعِ وَالوَتْرِ |
| and by the night when it departs | 4 | وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ |
| Are there (not) in these (oaths) a proof for men of understanding? | 5 | هَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِذِي حِجْرٍ |
| Did you not see how your lord dealt with (the people of) Ad | 6 | أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ |
| (People of the city of) Iram, possessor of lofty pillars (buildings) | 7 | إِرَمَ ذَاتِ العِمَادِ |
| the like of which were not created in the lands | 8 | الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي البِلَادِ |
| and Thamud who hewed out rocks in the valley | 9 | وَثَمُوْدَ الَّذِيْنَ جَابُوْا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ |
| and Firaun (Pharaoh) possessor of the stakes | 10 | وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الأَوْتَادِ |
| who transgressed beyond bounds in the lands | 11 | الَّذِينَ طَغَوا فِي البِلَادِ |
| and made therein much mischief | 12 | فَأَكْثَرُوْا فِيهَا الفَسَادَ |
| so, your lord poured on them a scourge (portion) of punishment | 13 | فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِم رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ |
| Indeed, your lord is Ever Watchful | 14 | إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالمِرْصَادِ |
| As for man, when his Lord tries him by honoring him and favoring him | فَأَمَّا الإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ | |
| then he says “my Lord has honored me” | 15 | فَيَقُوْلُ رَبِّى أَكْرَمَنِ |
| but when He tries him by straitening his provision | وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ | |
| then he says “my Lord has humiliated me” | 16 | فَيَقُوْلُ رَبِّى أَهَانَنِ |
| Nay! but you do not honor the orphans (treat with kindness and generosity) | 17 | كَلَّا بَلْ لَّا تُكْرِمُوْنَ اليَنِيْمَ |
| and urge not one another to the feeding of the needy | 18 | وَلَا تَحَاضُّوْنَ عَلَى طَعَامِ المِسْكِيْنِ |
| and you devour the inheritance with greed | 19 | وَتَأْكُلُوْنَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا |
| and you love wealth with an immense love | 20 | وَتُحِبُّوْنَ المَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا |
| Nay! when the earth is crushed a crushing, a crushing | 21 | كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا |
| and your Lord comes with the angels in rows | 22 | وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا |
| and that day Hell will be brought near | وَجِاْئَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ | |
| on that day man will remember, but how will that remembrance avail him? | 23 | يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الإِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى |
| He will say “Alas would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for my life (hereafter) | 24 | يَقُوْلُ يَالَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى |
| So, on that day none will punish as He will punish | 25 | فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ |
| and none will bind as He will bind | 26 | وَلَا يُوْثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ |
| O the soul in rest and satisfaction | 27 | يَآ أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ المُطْمَئِنَّةُ |
| Return to your Lord well pleased and well pleasing | 28 | ارْجِعِى إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً |
| Enter among My slaves | 29 | فَادْخُلِى فِي عِبَادِى |
| and Enter My Paradise | 30 | وَادْخُلِى جَنَّتِى |
