1.By the dawn,1 2.and the ten nights,1 3.and the even and the odd, 4.and the night when it passes! 5.Is all this ˹not˺ a sufficient oath for those who have sense? 6.Did you not see how your Lord dealt with ’Ȃd— 7.˹the people˺ of Iram—with ˹their˺ great stature, 8.unmatched in any other land; 9.and Thamûd who carved ˹their homes into˺ the rocks in the ˹Stone˺ Valley; 10.and the Pharaoh of mighty structures?1 11.They all transgressed throughout the land, 12.spreading much corruption there. 13.So your Lord unleashed on them a scourge of punishment.1 14.˹For˺ your Lord is truly vigilant. 15.Now, whenever a human being is tested by their Lord through ˹His˺ generosity and blessings, they boast, “My Lord has ˹deservedly˺ honoured me!” 16.But when He tests them by limiting their provision, they protest, “My Lord has ˹undeservedly˺ humiliated me!” 17.Absolutely not! In fact, you are not ˹even˺ gracious to the orphan, 18.nor do you urge one another to feed the poor. 19.And you devour ˹others’˺ inheritance greedily,1 20.and love wealth fervently. 21.Enough! When the earth is entirely crushed over and over, 22.and your Lord comes ˹to judge˺ with angels, rank upon rank, 23.and Hell is brought forth on that Day—this is when every ˹disbelieving˺ person will remember ˹their own sins˺. But what is the use of remembering then?
