الفجر

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the dawn;

1 Waalfajri

2 By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah) ,

2 Walayalin AAashrin

3 And by the even and the odd (of all the creations of Allah).

3 WaalshshafAAi waalwatri

4 And by the night when it departs.

4 Waallayli itha yasri

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)!

5 Hal fee thalika qasamun lithee hijrin

6 Saw you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) not how your Lord dealt with 'Ad (people)

6 Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biAAadin

7 Of Iram (who were very tall) like (lofty) pillars,

7 Irama thati alAAimadi

8 The like of which were not created in the land?

8 Allatee lam yukhlaq mithluha fee albiladi

9 And (with) Thamud (people), who hewed out rocks in the valley (to make dwellings)?

9 Wathamooda allatheena jaboo alssakhra bialwadi

10 And (with) Fir'aun (Pharaoh) who had the stakes (to torture men by binding them to the stakes)?

10 WafirAAawna thee alawtadi

11 Who did transgress beyond bounds in the lands (in the disobedience of Allah).

11 Allatheena taghaw fee albiladi

12 And made therein much mischief.

12 Faaktharoo feeha alfasada

13 So your Lord poured on them different kinds of severe torment.

13 Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabin

14 Verily, your Lord is Ever Watchful (over them).

14 Inna rabbaka labialmirsadi

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."

15 Faamma alinsanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani

16 But when He tries him by straitening his means of life, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!"

16 Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani

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)!

17 Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema

18 And urge not one another on the feeding of Al-Miskin (the poor)!

18 Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

19 And you devour the inheritance all with greed.

19 Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman

20 And you love wealth with much love.

20 Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman

21 Nay! When the earth is ground to powder.

21 Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan

22 And your Lord comes with the angels in rows.

22 Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan

23 And Hell will be brought near that Day. On that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance (then) avail him?

23 Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra

24 He will say: "Alas! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my life!"

24 Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee

25 So on that Day none will punish as He will punish.

25 Fayawmaithin la yuAAaththibu AAathabahu ahadun

26 And none will bind (the wicked, disbelievers and polytheists) as He will bind.

26 Wala yoothiqu wathaqahu ahadun

27 (It will be said to the pious believers of Islamic Monotheism): "O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction!

27 Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu

28 "Come back to your Lord well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing (unto Him)!

28 IrjiAAee ila rabbiki radiyatan mardiyyatan

29 "Enter you then among My (honoured) slaves,

29 Faodkhulee fee AAibadee

30 "And enter you My Paradise!"

30 Waodkhulee jannatee
