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