Surah Al-Fajr

وَالْفَجْرِ ۝١ۙ

1By the Dawn,

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ ۝٢ۙ

2by the ten nights,

وَّالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ ۝٣ۙ

3by the Even and the Odd,

وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا يَسْرِ ۝٤ۚ

4by the night when it departs!

هَلْ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِيْ حِجْرٍ ۝٥ؕ

5Is there an oath in that for one possessing intellect?

اَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ ۝٦ࣕۙ

6Have you not regarded how your Lord dealt with [the people of] ‘Ad,

اِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ ۝٧ࣕۙ

7[and] Iram, [the city] of the pillars,

الَّتِيْ لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ ۝٨ࣕۙ

8the like of which was not created among cities,

وَثَمُوْدَ الَّذِيْنَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ ۝٩ࣕۙ

9and [the people of] Thamud, who hollowed out the rocks in the valley,

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْاَوْتَادِ ۝١٠ࣕۙ

10and Pharaoh, the impaler

الَّذِيْنَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ ۝١١ࣕۙ

11—those who rebelled [against Allah] in their cities

فَاَكْثَرُوْا فِيْهَا الْفَسَادَ ۝١٢ࣕۙ

12and caused much corruption in them,

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ۝١٣ۚۙ

13so your Lord poured on them lashes of punishment.

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ ۝١٤ؕ

14Indeed your Lord is in ambush.

فَاَمَّا الْاِنْسَانُ اِذَا مَا ابْتَلٰىهُ رَبُّهٗ فَاَكْرَمَهٗ وَنَعَّمَهٗ࣢ۙ فَيَقُوْلُ رَبِّيْٓ اَكْرَمَنِ ۝١٥ؕ

15As for man, whenever his Lord tests him, and grants him honour, and blesses him, he says, ‘My Lord has honoured me.’

وَاَمَّا͏ٓ اِذَا مَا ابْتَلٰىهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهٗ࣢ۙ فَيَقُوْلُ رَبِّيْٓ اَهَانَنِ ۝١٦ۚ

16But when He tests him and tightens for him his provision, he says, ‘My Lord has humiliated me.’

كَلَّا بَلْ لَّا تُكْرِمُوْنَ الْيَتِيْمَ ۝١٧ۙ

17No indeed! No, you do not honour the orphan,

وَلَا تَحٰ࢜ضُّوْنَ عَلٰي طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِيْنِ ۝١٨ۙ

18and do not urge the feeding of the needy.

وَتَاْكُلُوْنَ التُّرَاثَ اَكْلًا لَّمًّا ۝١٩ۙ

19You eat the inheritance rapaciously,

وَّتُحِبُّوْنَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا ۝٢٠ؕ

20and love wealth with much fondness.

كَلَّا͏ٓ اِذَا دُكَّتِ الْاَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا ۝٢١ۙ

21No indeed! When the earth is levelled to a plain,

وَّجَا࢜ءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا ۝٢٢ۚ

22and your Lord [’s edict] arrives with the angels in ranks,

وَجِايْ࢜ءَ يَوْمَىِٕذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ࣢ۙ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّتَذَكَّرُ الْاِنْسَانُ وَاَنّٰي لَهُ الذِّكْرٰي ۝٢٣ؕ

23the day when hell is brought [near], man will take admonition on that day, but what will that admonition avail him?

يَقُوْلُ يٰلَيْتَنِيْ قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِيْ ۝٢٤ۚ

24He will say, ‘Alas, had I sent ahead for my life [in the Hereafter]!’

فَيَوْمَىِٕذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهٗٓ اَحَدٌ ۝٢٥ۙ

25On that day none shall punish as He punishes,

وَّلَا يُوْثِقُ وَثَاقَهٗٓ اَحَدٌ ۝٢٦ؕ

26and none shall bind as He binds.

يٰٓاَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَىِٕنَّةُ ۝٢٧ࣗۖ

27‘O soul at peace!

ارْجِعِيْٓ اِلٰي رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً ۝٢٨ۚ

28Return to your Lord, pleased and pleasing!

فَادْخُلِيْ فِيْ عِبٰدِيْ ۝٢٩ۙ

29Then enter among My servants,

وَادْخُلِيْ جَنَّتِيْ ۝٣٠ࣖ

30and enter My paradise!’
