وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ ١
By the Dawn;1
89:2
وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٖ ٢
and the Ten Nights;1
89:3
وَٱلشَّفۡعِ وَٱلۡوَتۡرِ ٣
and the Even and Odd [contrasted];1
89:4
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَسۡرِ ٤
and the Night when it passes.
89:5
هَلۡ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٞ لِّذِي حِجۡرٍ ٥
Is there [not] in these an adjuration for one who understands?
89:6
أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ٦
See you not how your Lord dealt with the ‘Ād [people],1
89:7
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ ٧
of the [town of] Iram,1the one with lofty pillars,
89:8
ٱلَّتِي لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ ٨
the like of which were not created in [all] the land?
89:9
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُواْ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٩
And [how He dealt] with the Thamūd1[people], who cut out [huge] rocks in the valley?
89:10
وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ ١٠
And with the Pharaoh,1Lord of Stakes?
89:11
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ ١١
[All] these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands,
89:12
فَأَكۡثَرُواْ فِيهَا ٱلۡفَسَادَ ١٢
and heaped therein mischief [on mischief].
89:13
فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍ ١٣
Therefore, your Lord flogged them with [diverse] punishments.
89:14
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلۡمِرۡصَادِ ١٤
Verily, your Lord is [ever] Watchful.
89:15
فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَكۡرَمَنِ ١٥
Now, as for Man, when his Lord tests him, giving him honour and gifts, says he [puffed up], “My Lord has honoured me.”
89:16
وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيٓ أَهَٰنَنِ ١٦
But when He [Allāh] tests him, restricting his sustenance for him, says he [in despair], “My Lord has humiliated me!”
89:17
كـَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكۡرِمُونَ ٱلۡيَتِيمَ ١٧
Nay! But you honour not the orphan!
89:18
وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ ١٨
Nor do you encourage one another to feed the poor!
89:19
وَتَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكۡلٗا لَّمّٗا ١٩
And you devour inheritance1with greed,
89:20
وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡمَالَ حُبّٗا جَمّٗا ٢٠
And you love wealth with inordinate lust!
89:21
كـَلَّآ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ دَكّٗا دَكّٗا ٢١
Nay! When the earth is pounded to smithereens,
89:22
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلۡمَلَكُ صَفّٗا صَفّٗا ٢٢
And your Lord will come with the angels, rank upon rank,
89:23
وَجِاْيٓءَ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِجَهَنَّمَۚ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ ٢٣
and Hell, that Day, will be brought [face to face]. On that Day will Man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him?
89:24
يَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَيَاتِي ٢٤
He will say: “Ah! Would that I had sent forth [good deeds for my [future] life!”
89:25
فَيَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥٓ أَحَدٞ ٢٥
For, that Day, His punishment will be such as none [else] can inflict,
89:26
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥٓ أَحَدٞ ٢٦
And His fetters will be such as none [other] can bind with.
89:27
يَٰٓأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفۡسُ ٱلۡمُطۡمَئِنَّةُ ٢٧
[The righteous soul will be told:] “O [you] the satisfied soul!
89:28
ٱرۡجِعِيٓ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةٗ مَّرۡضِيَّةٗ ٢٨
“Return to your Lord, well-pleased (yourself), and well-pleased by Him!
89:29
فَٱدۡخُلِي فِي عِبَٰدِي ٢٩
“So, enter, then, the ranks of My servants!1
89:30
وَٱدۡخُلِي جَنَّتِي ٣٠
“And, enter My Paradise!”
