سُورَةُ الفَجۡرِ

By the dawn

Wal-Fajr

And [by] ten nights

Wa layaalin 'ashr

And [by] the even [number] and the odd

Wash shaf'i wal watr

And [by] the night when it passes,

Wallaili izaa yasr

Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?

Hal fee zaalika qasamul lizee hijr

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -

Alam tara kaifa fa'ala rabbuka bi'aad

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,

Iramaa zaatil 'imaad

The likes of whom had never been created in the land?

Allatee lam yukhlaq misluhaa fil bilaad

And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?

Wa samoodal lazeena jaabus sakhra bil waad

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -

Wa fir'awna zil awtaad

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

Allazeena taghaw fil bilaad

And increased therein the corruption.

Fa aksaroo feehal fasaad

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

Fasabba 'alaihim Rabbuka sawta 'azaab

Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

Inna Rabbaka labil mirsaad

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."

Fa ammal insaanu izaa mab talaahu Rabbuhoo fa akramahoo wa na' 'amahoo fa yaqoolu Rabbeee akraman

But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."

Wa ammaaa izaa mabtalaahu faqadara 'alaihi rizqahoo fa yaqoolu Rabbeee ahaanan

No! But you do not honor the orphan

Kalla bal laa tukrimooo nal yateem

And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.

Wa laa tahaaaddoona 'alaata'aamil miskeen

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,

Wa taakuloonat turaasa aklal lammaa

And you love wealth with immense love.

Wa tuhibboonal maala hubban jammaa

No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -

Kallaaa izaaa dukkatil ardu dakkan dakka

And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,

Wa jaaa'a Rabbuka wal malaku saffan saffaa

And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?

Wa jeee'a yawma'izim bi jahannnam; Yawma 'iziny yatazakkarul insaanu wa annaa lahuz zikraa

He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."

Yaqoolu yaa laitanee qaddamtu lihayaatee

So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,

Fa Yawma izil laa yu'azzibu 'azaabahooo ahad

And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].

Wa laa yoosiqu wasaaqa hooo ahad

[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,

Yaaa ayyatuhan nafsul mutma 'innah

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],

Irji'eee ilaa Rabbiki raadiyatam mardiyyah

And enter among My [righteous] servants

Fadkhulee fee 'ibaadee

And enter My Paradise."

Wadkhulee jannatee
