Chapter 89, 30 verses
وَٱلْفَجْرِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the Dawn
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْفَجْرِ
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
And ten nights,
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
And the Even and the Odd,
وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
And the night when it departeth,
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ
There surely is an oath for thinking man.
هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad,
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ
With many - columned Iram,
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ
ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
The like of which was not created in the lands;
الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ
And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley;
وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ
And with Pharaoh, firm of might,
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ
Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands,
الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ
فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ
And multiplied iniquity therein ?
فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment.
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ
Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ
فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ
As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me.
فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ
But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me.
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ
وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
And urge not on the feeding of the poor.
وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
And ye devour heritages with devouring greed.
وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
And love wealth with abounding love.
وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding,
كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank,
وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him) ?
وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى
He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life!
يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
None punisheth as He will punish on that day!
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ
None bindeth as He then will bind.
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
But ah! thou soul at peace!
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure!
ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى
Enter thou among My bondmen!
فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي
وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى
Enter thou My Garden!
وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي
