Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful. | |
By the Dawn; |
.1 |
And by the ten nights; |
.2 |
And by the even and the odds |
.3 |
And by the night when it departs, |
.4 |
Is there not in it an oath for man of understanding? |
.5 |
Have you not seen, what did your Lord with Aad? |
.6 |
The people of Iram excessively tall, |
.7 |
The like of whom have not been created in cities. |
.8 |
And with Thamud who hewed out rocks in the valley. |
.9 |
And with Firawn (Pharoah) who pilloried. |
.10 |
Those who transgressed in the cities. |
.11 |
And spread mischief therein |
.12 |
Therefore your Lord let down upon them the whip of torment with force. |
.13 |
Undoubtedly, nothing is absent from the sight of Your Lord. |
.14 |
But man, when his Lord tries him and honours him and bestows favour on him, he says, 'my Lord hashonoured me'. |
.15 |
But when He tries him and straitens his livelihood, he says, 'my Lord has disgraced me. |
.16 |
Not so, but you do not honour the orphan. |
.17 |
And you urge not one another to feed the poor, |
.18 |
And devour the heritage of others greedily, |
.19 |
And you love wealth exceedingly. |
.20 |
Yes, when the earth is completely broken into pieces. |
.21 |
And the Command of your Lord comes and also the angels in rows after rows, |
.22 |
And Hell is brought that day, on that day man will think, but now where is the time for thinking? |
.23 |
He will say, O would that I had sent forward some good works in my life. |
.24 |
So on that day none torments any like His torment. |
.25 |
And nor anyone binds like His binding. |
.26 |
'O you peaceful soul.' |
.27 |
Return to your Lord well pleased with Him, and He well pleased with you. |
.28 |
So, enter you among My chosen bondmen. |
.29 |
And come to My Garden. |
.30 |
