The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[89.1] I swear
by the daybreak,
[89.2] And the ten nights,
[89.3] And the even and the
odd,
[89.4] And the night when it
departs.
[89.5] Truly in that there is
an oath for those who possess
understanding.
[89.6] Have you not
considered how your Lord dealt with
Ad,
[89.7] (The people of) Aram,
possessors of lofty buildings,
[89.8] The like of which were
not created in the (other) cities;
[89.9] And (with) Samood, who
hewed out the rocks in the valley,
[89.10] And (with) Firon, the
lord of hosts,
[89.11] Who committed
inordinacy in the cities,
[89.12] So they made great
mischief therein?
[89.13] Therefore your Lord
let down upon them a portion of the
chastisement.
[89.14] Most surely your Lord
is watching.
[89.15] 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.
[89.16] But when He tries him
(differently), then straitens to him
his means of subsistence, he says:
My Lord has disgraced me.
[89.17] Nay! but you do not
honor the orphan,
[89.18] Nor do you urge one
another to feed the poor,
[89.19] And you eat away the
heritage, devouring (everything)
indiscriminately,
[89.20] And you love wealth
with exceeding love.
[89.21] Nay! when the earth
is made to crumble to pieces,
[89.22] And your Lord comes
and (also) the angels in ranks,
[89.23] And hell is made to
appear on that day. On that day
shall man be mindful, and what shall
being mindful (then) avail him?
[89.24] He shall say: O!
would that I had sent before for
(this) my life!
[89.25] But on that day shall
no one chastise with (anything like)
His chastisement,
[89.26] And no one shall bind
with (anything like) His binding.
[89.27] O soul that art at
rest!
[89.28] Return to your Lord,
well-pleased (with him),
well-pleasing (Him),
[89.29] So enter among My
servants,
[89.30] And enter into My
garden. |
