89. Al-Fajr

وَٱلْفَجْرِ ۝١

وَالۡفَجۡرِۙ‏ ۝١

89:1 I swear by the dawn,

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ ۝٢

وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٍۙ‏ ۝٢

89:2 and by Ten Nights,

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ ۝٣

وَّالشَّفۡعِ وَالۡوَتۡرِۙ‏ ۝٣

89:3 and by the even and the odd,

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ۝٤

وَالَّيۡلِ اِذَا يَسۡرِ​ۚ‏ ۝٤

89:4 and by the night when it moves away,

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ ۝٥

هَلۡ فِىۡ ذٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِىۡ حِجۡرٍؕ‏ ۝٥

89:5 -Is there (not) in such an oath (enough assurance) for a man of sense?-

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ۝٦

اَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍۙ‏ ۝٦

89:6 Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with (the people) of ‘Ād

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ ۝٧

اِرَمَ ذَاتِ الۡعِمَادِۙ‏ ۝٧

89:7 of Iram , the men of tall pillars,

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ۝٨

الَّتِىۡ لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِى الۡبِلَادِۙ‏ ۝٨

89:8 the like of whom were never created in the lands,

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ ۝٩

وَثَمُوۡدَ الَّذِيۡنَ جَابُوا الصَّخۡرَ بِالۡوَادِۙ‏ ۝٩

89:9 and (how He dealt) with (the people of) Thamūd who had carved out the rocks in the Valley (of Qurā),

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ ۝١٠

وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِى الۡاَوۡتَادِۙ‏ ۝١٠

89:10 and with Fir‘aun (Pharaoh), the man of the stakes,

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَٰدِ ۝١١

الَّذِيۡنَ طَغَوۡا فِى الۡبِلَادِۙ‏ ۝١١

89:11 - those who had rebelled in the cities,

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ ۝١٢

فَاَكۡثَرُوۡا فِيۡهَا الۡفَسَادَۙ‏ ۝١٢

89:12 and spread a lot of mischief therein.

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ۝١٣

فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍ ۙۚ‏ ۝١٣

89:13 So, your Lord let loose on them the whip of torment.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ ۝١٤

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالۡمِرۡصَادِؕ‏ ۝١٤

89:14 Surely your Lord is ever on the watch.

فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ ۝١٥

فَاَمَّا الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِذَا مَا ابۡتَلٰٮهُ رَبُّهٗ فَاَكۡرَمَهٗ وَنَعَّمَهٗ  ۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ رَبِّىۡۤ اَكۡرَمَنِؕ‏ ۝١٥

89:15 As for man, when his Lord tests him, and thus gives him honour and bounties, he says, “My Lord has honoured me.”

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَٰنَنِ ۝١٦

وَاَمَّاۤ اِذَا مَا ابۡتَلٰٮهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهٗ ۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ رَبِّىۡۤ اَهَانَنِ​ۚ‏ ۝١٦

89:16 But when he tests him, and thus straitens his provision for him, he says, “My Lord has disgraced me.”

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ ۝١٧

كَلَّا​ بَلۡ لَّا تُكۡرِمُوۡنَ الۡيَتِيۡمَۙ‏ ۝١٧

89:17 No! But you do not honour the orphan,

وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ۝١٨

وَلَا تَحٰٓضُّوۡنَ عَلٰى طَعَامِ الۡمِسۡكِيۡنِۙ‏ ۝١٨

89:18 and do not encourage one another to feed the needy.

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا ۝١٩

وَتَاۡكُلُوۡنَ التُّرَاثَ اَكۡلًا لَّـمًّا ۙ‏ ۝١٩

89:19 And you devour the inheritance with a sweeping gulp,

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا ۝٢٠

وَّتُحِبُّوۡنَ الۡمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا ؕ‏ ۝٢٠

89:20 and love wealth, an excessive love.

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا ۝٢١

كَلَّاۤ اِذَا دُكَّتِ الۡاَرۡضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا ۙ‏ ۝٢١

89:21 No! When the earth will be crushed thoroughly to be turned into bits,

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا ۝٢٢

وَّجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَالۡمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا ۚ‏ ۝٢٢

89:22 and your Lord will come, and the angels as well, lined up in rows,

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ ۝٢٣

وَجِاىْٓءَ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍۢ بِجَهَنَّمَ  ۙ​ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ يَّتَذَكَّرُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ وَاَنّٰى لَـهُ الذِّكۡرٰىؕ‏ ۝٢٣

89:23 and Jahannam (Hell), on that day, will be brought forward, it will be the day when man will realize the truth, but from where will he take advantage of such realization?

يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى ۝٢٤

يَقُوۡلُ يٰلَيۡتَنِىۡ قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَـيَاتِى​ۚ‏ ۝٢٤

89:24 He will say, “O Would that I had sent ahead (some good deeds) for (this) my life!”

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ ۝٢٥

فَيَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهٗۤ اَحَدٌ ۙ‏ ۝٢٥

89:25 So no one can punish like He will punish, that day,

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ ۝٢٦

وَّلَا يُوۡثِقُ وَثَاقَهٗۤ اَحَدٌ ؕ‏ ۝٢٦

89:26 nor can anyone shackle like He will shackle.

يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ۝٢٧

يٰۤاَيَّتُهَا النَّفۡسُ الۡمُطۡمَٮِٕنَّةُ  ۖ‏ ۝٢٧

89:27 (As for an obedient man, it will be said to him,) “O content soul,

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً ۝٢٨

ارۡجِعِىۡۤ اِلٰى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرۡضِيَّةً​ ۚ‏ ۝٢٨

89:28 come back to your Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing.

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَٰدِى ۝٢٩

فَادۡخُلِىۡ فِىۡ عِبٰدِىۙ‏ ۝٢٩

89:29 So, enter among My (special) servants,

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى ۝٣٠

وَادۡخُلِىۡ جَنَّتِى‏ ۝٣٠

89:30 and enter My Paradise.”
