89. Al-Fajrالفجر
30 ayahs · Meccan
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
- وَٱلْفَجْرِ1
By the dawn
- وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ2
And [by] ten nights[1913]
- وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ3
And [by] the even [number] and the odd
- وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ4
And [by] the night when it passes,
- هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ5
Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?[1914]
- أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ6
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ʿAad -
- إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ7
[With] Iram[1915] - who had lofty pillars,[1916]
- ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ8
The likes of whom had never been created in the land?
- وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ9
And [with] Thamūd, who carved out the rocks in the valley?
- وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ10
And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes?[1917]
- ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ11
[All of] whom oppressed within the lands
- فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ12
And increased therein the corruption.
- فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ13
So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
- إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ14
Indeed, your Lord is in observation.
- فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ15
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."[1918]
- وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ16
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
- كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ17
No![1919] But you do not honor the orphan
- وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ18
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.
- وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا19
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,[1920]
- وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا20
And you love wealth with immense love.
- كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا21
No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed
- وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا22
And your Lord has come[1921] and the angels, rank upon rank,
- وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ23
And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but how [i.e., what good] to him will be the remembrance?
- يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى24
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."[1922]
- فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ25
So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,
- وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ26
And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].
- يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ27
[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,
- ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً28
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],
- فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى29
And enter among My [righteous] servants
- وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى30
And enter My Paradise."
