| 1. * | By the morning,[1] |
| 2. * | and the ten nights (first ten days of Dhul-Hijja),[2] |
| 3. * | the even and the odd,[3] |
| 4. * | and the night when it departs![4] |
| 5. * | Is there not in these an oath (enough evidence) for those who use their common sense?[5] |
| 6. * | Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with ‘Ad?[6] |
| 7. * | The residents of Iram, the city of lofty pillars,[7] |
| 8. * | the like of which had never been built in other cities.[8] |
| 9. * | And with the people of Thamud who hewed out their dwellings in the rocks of the valley?[9] |
| 10. * | And with Pharaoh the owner of stakes?[10] |
| 11. * | They all transgressed beyond bounds in their cities,[11] |
| 12. * | and committed great mischief therein.[12] |
| 13. * | Therefore, your Lord let loose on them His scourge of torment.[13] |
| 14. * | Surely your Lord is ever watchful.[14] |
| 15. * | As for man, when his Lord tries him through giving him honor and blessings, he says: "My Lord is bountiful to me."[15] |
| 16. * | But when He tries him through restricting his subsistence, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me."[16] |
| 17. * | Nay! But you did not show kindness to the orphan,[17] |
| 18. * | nor did you encourage each other in feeding the poor.[18] |
| 19. * | Greedily you lay your hands on the inheritance of the weak,[19] |
| 20. * | and you love wealth with all your hearts.[20] |
| 21. * | Nay! You should know, when the earth will be pounded to powder,[21] |
| 22. * | your Lord will come, with angels standing in ranks,[22] |
| 23. * | hell shall be brought in sight. On that Day man will remember his deeds, but how is that remembrance going to profit him?[23] |
| 24. * | He will say: "Alas! Would that I had sent forth some good deeds for this life of mine."[24] |
| 25. * | None can punish as Allah will punish on that Day,[25] |
| 26. * | and none can bind as He will bind.[26] |
| 27. * | To the righteous soul it will be said: "O fully satisfied soul![27] |
| 28. * | Return to your Lord, well pleased with Him and well-pleasing to Him.[28] |
| 29. * | Join My servants,[29] |
| 30. * | and enter My paradise."[30] |
