Surah 89: Al-Fajr سُورَةُ الفَجۡرِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْفَجْرِ 1

¹By the Dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ 2

²And ten nights,

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ 3

³And the Even and the Odd,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ 4

⁴And the night when it departeth,

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ 5

⁵There surely is an oath for thinking man.

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ 6

⁶Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad,

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ 7

⁷With many-columned Iram,

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ 8

⁸The like of which was not created in the lands;

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ 9

⁹And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley;

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ 10

¹⁰And with Pharaoh, firm of might,

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ 11

¹¹Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands,

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ 12

¹²And multiplied iniquity therein?

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ 13

¹³Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ 14

¹⁴Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful.

فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ 15

¹⁵As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me.

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ 16

¹⁶But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me.

كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ 17

¹⁷Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan

وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ 18

¹⁸And urge not on the feeding of the poor.

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا 19

¹⁹And ye devour heritages with devouring greed.

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا 20

²⁰And love wealth with abounding love.

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا 21

²¹Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding,

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا 22

²²And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank,

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ 23

²³And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him)?

يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى 24

²⁴He will say: Ah, would that I had sent before me (some provision) for my life!

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ 25

²⁵None punisheth as He will punish on that day!

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ 26

²⁶None bindeth as He then will bind.

يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ 27

²⁷But ah! thou soul at peace!

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً 28

²⁸Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure!

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى 29

²⁹Enter thou among My bondmen!

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى 30

³⁰Enter thou My Garden!
