Surah Al-Fajr (The Dawn) — سُورَةُ الفجر
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
iIn the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
وَالْفَجْرِ i
By the dawn (1)
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ i
And [by] ten nights (2)
وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ i
And [by] the even [number] and the odd (3)
هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِذِي حِجْرٍ i
Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception? (5)
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ i
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad - (6)
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ i
[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars, (7)
الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ i
The likes of whom had never been created in the land? (8)
وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ i
And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley? (9)
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ i
And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? - (10)
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ i
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment. (13)
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ i
Indeed, your Lord is in observation. (14)
فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ i
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." (15)
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ i
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me." (16)
كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ لَا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ i
No! But you do not honor the orphan (17)
وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ i
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor. (18)
وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَمًّا i
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether, (19)
وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا i
And you love wealth with immense love. (20)
كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا i
No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed - (21)
وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا i
And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank, (22)
وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ i
And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance? (23)
يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي i
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life." (24)
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ i
So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment, (25)
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ i
And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers]. (26)
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ i
[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul, (27)
ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَرْضِيَّةً i
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him], (28)
فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي i
And enter among My [righteous] servants (29)
وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي i
And enter My Paradise." (30)
