| Chapter 89 | The Dawn | |
| 30 Verses | al-Fajr | الفجر |
| 1 | In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. By the dawn | بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْفَجْرِ |
| 2 | And [by] ten nights | وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ |
| 3 | And [by] the even [number] and the odd | وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ |
| 4 | And [by] the night when it passes, | وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ |
| 5 | Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception? | هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ |
| 6 | Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ‘Aad – | أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ |
| 7 | [With] Iram – who had lofty pillars, | إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ |
| 8 | The likes of whom had never been created in the land? | ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ |
| 9 | And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley? | وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ |
| 10 | And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? – | وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ |
| 11 | [All of] whom oppressed within the lands | ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ |
| 12 | And increased therein the corruption. | فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ |
| 13 | So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment. | فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ |
| 14 | Indeed, your Lord is in observation. | إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ |
| 15 | And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, “My Lord has honored me.” | فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ |
| 16 | But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, “My Lord has humiliated me.” | وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ |
| 17 | No! But you do not honor the orphan | كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ |
| 18 | And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor. | وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ |
| 19 | And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether, | وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا |
| 20 | And you love wealth with immense love. | وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا |
| 21 | No! When the earth has been leveled – pounded and crushed – | كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا |
| 22 | And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank, | وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا |
| 23 | And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell – that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance? | وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ |
| 24 | He will say, “Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life.” | يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى |
| 25 | So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment, | فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ |
| 26 | And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers]. | وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ |
| 27 | [To the righteous it will be said], “O reassured soul, | يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ |
| 28 | Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him], | ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً |
| 29 | And enter among My [righteous] servants | فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى |
| 30 | And enter My Paradise.” | وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى |
