By
the dawn; |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 2. |
By
the ten nights (i.e. the first
ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah), |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 3. |
And
by the even and the odd (of
all the creations of Allah). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 4. |
And
by the night when it departs. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 5. |
There
is indeed in them (the above
oaths) sufficient proofs for
men of understanding (and that,
they should avoid all kinds of sins and disbeliefs)! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 6. |
Saw
you (O Muhammad (Peace
be upon him)) not how your Lord
dealt with 'Ad (people)? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 7. |
Of Iram (who were very tall) like (lofty)
pillars, |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 8. |
The
like of which were not created in the land? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 9. |
And (with) Thamud (people),
who hewed out rocks in the valley (to make dwellings)? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 10. |
And (with) Fir'awn (Pharaoh),
who had the stakes ( to torture
men by binding them to the stakes)? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 11. |
Who
did transgress beyond bounds in the lands (in the disobedience of Allah). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 12. |
And
made therein much mischief. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 13. |
So
your Lord poured on them different kinds of severe torment. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 14. |
Verily,
your Lord is Ever Watchful (over
them). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 15. |
As
for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and bounties,
then he says (in exultation):
"My Lord has honoured me." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 16. |
But
when He tries him, by straitening his means of life, he says: "My
Lord has humiliated me!" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 17. |
Nay!
But you treat not the orphans with kindness and generosity (i.e. you neither treat them well, nor give them their exact right
of inheritance)! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 18. |
And
urge not on the feeding of Al-Miskin (the poor)! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 19. |
And
you devour inheritance all with greed. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 20. |
And
you love wealth with much love. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 21. |
Nay!
When the earth is ground to powder. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 22. |
And
your Lord comes with the angels in rows. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 23. |
And
Hell will be brought near that Day. On that Day will man remember,
but how will that remembrance (then) avail him? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 24. |
He
will say: "Alas! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my life!" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 25. |
So
on that Day, none will punish as He will punish. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 26. |
And
none will bind (the wicked,
disbelievers and polytheism) as He will bind. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 27. |
(It
will be said to the pious believer of Islam Monotheism):
"O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 28. |
"Come
back to your Lord, well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing (unto Him)! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 29. |
"Enter
you, then, among My (honoured) slaves, |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 30. |
"And
enter you My Paradise!" |
|
