- Overline = long vowel (madd): hold it about two beats. Length matters most in recitation.
- Tiny = no vowel in the Arabic here — just the consonant, short.
- Small Latin letter = a sound Korean lacks, on the next syllable: f upper teeth on lower lip · θ/ð tongue tip between the teeth · r rolled tongue tip (a bare ㄹ is l).

About this surah
Classed as a Meccan sura, it opens with oaths by the dawn, the ten nights, the even and the odd, and the passing night. It then recalls how the Lord dealt with Ad — the people of Iram with their lofty pillars — with Thamud, who hewed the rocks of the valley, and with Pharaoh, owner of the stakes; all of them transgressed and spread corruption, and punishment came down on them. Next it examines a human attitude: when given honour and blessing, a person says his Lord has honoured him, but when his provision is restricted he says his Lord has humiliated him. The text rejects this and points instead to neglect of orphans, failure to feed the needy, devouring inheritance and loving wealth too much. It describes the Day when the earth is pounded to dust, Hell is brought near and a person wishes he had prepared for his life, and ends by calling the soul at peace to return to its Lord and enter His Garden.
