Al-Fajr

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْفَجْرِ

By the Dawn

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ

And ten nights

وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ

And the Even and the Odd

وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ

And the night when it departeth

هَلْ فِى ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ

There surely is an oath for thinking man

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

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

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلْعِمَادِ

With many-columned Iram

ٱلَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ

The like of which was not created in the lands

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ

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

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى ٱلْأَوْتَادِ

And with Pharaoh, firm of might

ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْبِلَـٰدِ

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

فَأَكْثَرُوا۟ فِيهَا ٱلْفَسَادَ

And multiplied iniquity therein

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ

Therefore thy Lord poured on them the disaster of His punishment

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلْمِرْصَادِ

Lo! thy Lord is ever watchful

فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ

As 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 أَهَـٰنَنِ

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

كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ

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

وَلَا تَحَـٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ

And urge not on the feeding of the poor

وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا

And ye devour heritages with devouring greed

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا

And love wealth with abounding love

كَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا

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

وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا

And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank

وَجِا۟ىٓءَ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ

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

يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى

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

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ

None punisheth as He will punish on that day

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٌ

None bindeth as He then will bind

يَـٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ

But ah! thou soul at peace

ٱرْجِعِىٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً

Return unto thy Lord, content in His good pleasure

فَٱدْخُلِى فِى عِبَـٰدِى

Enter thou among My bondmen

وَٱدْخُلِى جَنَّتِى

Enter thou My Garden
