| The Dawn -Al-Fajr | |||
| In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful | |||
| 1 | [ 89. 1 ] By the dawn | ||
| 2 | [ 89. 2 ] and ten nights ( of pilgrimage or the last ten days of Ramadan ), | ||
| 3 | [ 89. 3 ] by the even, and the odd, | ||
| 4 | [ 89. 4 ] by the night when it journeys on! | ||
| 5 | [ 89. 5 ] Is there in that an oath for the mindful? | ||
| 6 | [ 89. 6 ] Have you not heard how your Lord dealt with Aad? | ||
| 7 | [ 89. 7 ] of the columned ( city ) of Iram, | ||
| 8 | [ 89. 8 ] the like of which was never created in the countries? | ||
| 9 | [ 89. 9 ] And Thamood, who hewed out the rocks of the valley? | ||
| 10 | [ 89. 10 ] And Pharaoh, of the pegs ( impaling his victims )? | ||
| 11 | [ 89. 11 ] They were tyrants in the land | ||
| 12 | [ 89. 12 ] and exceeded in corruption therein. | ||
| 13 | [ 89. 13 ] ( Therefore ) your Lord let loose upon them a scourge of punishment; | ||
| 14 | [ 89. 14 ] indeed, your Lord is ever watchful. | ||
| 15 | [ 89. 15 ] As for man, when his Lord tests him by honoring him and favoring him, he says: 'My Lord, has honored me.' | ||
| 16 | [ 89. 16 ] But when He tests him by restricting his provision, he says: 'My Lord has humiliated me.' | ||
| 17 | [ 89. 17 ] No! But you show no good to the orphan, | ||
| 18 | [ 89. 18 ] nor do you urge one another to feed the needy. | ||
| 19 | [ 89. 19 ] and you devour the inheritance with greed, | ||
| 20 | [ 89. 20 ] and you ardently love wealth. | ||
| 21 | [ 89. 21 ] No! But when the earth quakes and is pounded, | ||
| 22 | [ 89. 22 ] and your Lord comes with the angels, rank upon rank, | ||
| 23 | [ 89. 23 ] and Gehenna ( Hell ) is brought near on that Day the human will remember, and how shall the Reminder be for him? | ||
| 24 | [ 89. 24 ] He will say: 'Would that I had forwarded ( good works ) for my life!' | ||
| 25 | [ 89. 25 ] But on that Day none will punish as He ( Allah ) will punish, | ||
| 26 | [ 89. 26 ] nor will any bind as He binds. | ||
| 27 | [ 89. 27 ] O satisfied soul, | ||
| 28 | [ 89. 28 ] return to your Lord wellpleased, wellpleasing. | ||
| 29 | [ 89. 29 ] Join My worshipers and | ||
| 30 | [ 89. 30 ] enter My Paradise! | ||
