الفجر
Chapter 89. The Dawn
Al-Fajr 89:1
وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ
By the Dawn
Al-Fajr 89:2
وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٖ
And ten nights,
Al-Fajr 89:3
وَٱلشَّفۡعِ وَٱلۡوَتۡرِ
And the Even and the Odd,
Al-Fajr 89:4
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَسۡرِ
And the night when it departeth,
Al-Fajr 89:5
هَلۡ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٞ لِّذِي حِجۡرٍ
There surely is an oath for thinking man.
Al-Fajr 89:6
أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad,
Al-Fajr 89:7
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ
With many-columned Iram,
Al-Fajr 89:8
ٱلَّتِي لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
The like of which was not created in the lands;
Al-Fajr 89:9
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُواْ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ
And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley;
Al-Fajr 89:10
وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ
And with Pharaoh, firm of might,
Al-Fajr 89:11
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands,
Al-Fajr 89:12
فَأَكۡثَرُواْ فِيهَا ٱلۡفَسَادَ
And multiplied iniquity therein?
Al-Fajr 89:13
فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍ
Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment.
Al-Fajr 89:14
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلۡمِرۡصَادِ
Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful.
Al-Fajr 89:15
فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَكۡرَمَنِ
As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me.
Al-Fajr 89:16
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَهَٰنَنِ
But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me.
Al-Fajr 89:17
كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكۡرِمُونَ ٱلۡيَتِيمَ
Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan
Al-Fajr 89:18
وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ
And urge not on the feeding of the poor.
Al-Fajr 89:19
وَتَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكۡلٗا لَّمّٗا
And ye devour heritages with devouring greed.
Al-Fajr 89:20
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡمَالَ حُبّٗا جَمّٗا
And love wealth with abounding love.
Al-Fajr 89:21
كَلَّآۖ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ دَكّٗا دَكّٗا
Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding,
Al-Fajr 89:22
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلۡمَلَكُ صَفّٗا صَفّٗا
And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank,
Al-Fajr 89:23
وَجِاْيٓءَ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِجَهَنَّمَۚ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ
And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him)?
Al-Fajr 89:24
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَيَاتِي
He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life!
Al-Fajr 89:25
فَيَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٞ
None punisheth as He will punish on that day!
Al-Fajr 89:26
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٞ
None bindeth as He then will bind.
Al-Fajr 89:27
يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفۡسُ ٱلۡمُطۡمَئِنَّةُ
But ah! thou soul at peace!
Al-Fajr 89:28
ٱرۡجِعِيٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةٗ مَّرۡضِيَّةٗ
Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure!
Al-Fajr 89:29
فَٱدۡخُلِي فِي عِبَٰدِي
Enter thou among My bondmen!
Al-Fajr 89:30
وَٱدۡخُلِي جَنَّتِي
Enter thou My Garden!
