And [by] the even [number] and the odd
4
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ

And [by] the night when it passes,
5
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌۭ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
﴿5﴾
89:5
Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?1

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ʿAad -

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
﴿7﴾
89:7
[With] Iram1 - who had lofty pillars,2
8
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ
﴿8﴾
89:8
The likes of whom had never been created in the land?
9
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
﴿9﴾
89:9
And [with] Thamūd, who carved out the rocks in the valley?

﴿10﴾
89:10
And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes?1
11
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ
﴿11﴾
89:11
[All of] whom oppressed within the lands
12
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
﴿12﴾
89:12
And increased therein the corruption.
13
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
﴿13﴾
89:13
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
14
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
﴿14﴾
89:14
Indeed, your Lord is in observation.
15
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
﴿15﴾
89:15
And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."1
16
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ
﴿16﴾
89:16
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
17
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
﴿17﴾
89:17
No!1 But you do not honor the orphan
18
وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
﴿18﴾
89:18
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.
19
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا
﴿19﴾
89:19
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,1
20
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا
﴿20﴾
89:20
And you love wealth with immense love.
21
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّۭا دَكًّۭا
﴿21﴾
89:21
No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed
22
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّۭا صَفًّۭا
﴿22﴾
89:22
And your Lord has come1 and the angels, rank upon rank,
23
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
﴿23﴾
89:23
And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but how [i.e., what good] to him will be the remembrance?
24
يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
﴿24﴾
89:24
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."1
25
فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ
﴿25﴾
89:25
So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,
26
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌۭ
﴿26﴾
89:26
And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].
27
يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
﴿27﴾
89:27
[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,
28
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةًۭ مَّرْضِيَّةًۭ
﴿28﴾
89:28
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],
29
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى
﴿29﴾
89:29
And enter among My [righteous] servants
30
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
﴿30﴾
89:30
And enter My Paradise."
