Holy Quran Verses from Pickthall's Translation
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
089.001 | By the Dawn |
089.002 | And ten nights, |
089.003 | And the Even and the Odd, |
089.004 | And the night when it departeth, |
089.005 | There surely is an oath for thinking man. |
089.006 | Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad, |
089.007 | With many-columned Iram, |
089.008 | The like of which was not created in the lands; |
089.009 | And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley; |
089.010 | And with Pharaoh, firm of might, |
089.011 | Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands, |
089.012 | And multiplied iniquity therein? |
089.013 | Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment. |
089.014 | Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful. |
089.015 | As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me. |
089.016 | But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me. |
089.017 | Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan |
089.018 | And urge not on the feeding of the poor. |
089.019 | And ye devour heritages with devouring greed. |
089.020 | And love wealth with abounding love. |
089.021 | Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding, |
089.022 | And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank, |
089.023 | And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him)? |
089.024 | He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life! |
089.025 | None punisheth as He will punish on that day! |
089.026 | None bindeth as He then will bind. |
089.027 | But ah! thou soul at peace! |
089.028 | Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure! |
089.029 | Enter thou among My bondmen! |
089.030 | Enter thou My Garden! |
