In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
By the dawn
— Saheeh International
And [by] ten nights1
— Saheeh International
And [by] the even [number] and the odd
— Saheeh International
And [by] the night when it passes,
— Saheeh International
Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?1
— Saheeh International
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ʿAad -
— Saheeh International
[With] Iram1 - who had lofty pillars,2
— Saheeh International
The likes of whom had never been created in the land?
— Saheeh International
And [with] Thamūd, who carved out the rocks in the valley?
— Saheeh International
And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes?1
— Saheeh International
[All of] whom oppressed within the lands
— Saheeh International
And increased therein the corruption.
— Saheeh International
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
— Saheeh International
Indeed, your Lord is in observation.
— Saheeh International
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
— Saheeh International
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
— Saheeh International
No!1 But you do not honor the orphan
— Saheeh International
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.
— Saheeh International
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,1
— Saheeh International
And you love wealth with immense love.
— Saheeh International
No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed
— Saheeh International
And your Lord has come1 and the angels, rank upon rank,
— Saheeh International
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?
— Saheeh International
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."1
— Saheeh International
So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,
— Saheeh International
And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].
— Saheeh International
[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,
— Saheeh International
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],
— Saheeh International
And enter among My [righteous] servants
— Saheeh International
And enter My Paradise."
— Saheeh International
