Holy Quran Verses from Yusufali's Translation
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
| 089.001 | By the break of Day |
| 089.002 | By the Nights twice five; |
| 089.003 | By the even and odd (contrasted); |
| 089.004 | And by the Night when it passeth away;- |
| 089.005 | Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand? |
| 089.006 | Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people),- |
| 089.007 | Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars, |
| 089.008 | The like of which were not produced in (all) the land? |
| 089.009 | And with the Thamud (people), who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley?- |
| 089.010 | And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes? |
| 089.011 | (All) these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands, |
| 089.012 | And heaped therein mischief (on mischief). |
| 089.013 | Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements: |
| 089.014 | For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch-tower. |
| 089.015 | Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me." |
| 089.016 | But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!" |
| 089.017 | Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans! |
| 089.018 | Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor!- |
| 089.019 | And ye devour inheritance - all with greed, |
| 089.020 | And ye love wealth with inordinate love! |
| 089.021 | Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder, |
| 089.022 | And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank, |
| 089.023 | And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face),- on that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him? |
| 089.024 | He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life!" |
| 089.025 | For, that Day, His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict, |
| 089.026 | And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind. |
| 089.027 | (To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction! |
| 089.028 | "Come back thou to thy Lord,- well pleased (thyself), and well-pleasing unto Him! |
| 089.029 | "Enter thou, then, among My devotees! |
| 089.030 | "Yea, enter thou My Heaven! |
Let us pray (Sura 20, Ayat 114) 'Ya Rabbi Zidni Ilma!' ('O Lord! Increase me in knowledge.') and seek spiritual help (ta'yid) to understand our great faith.
