Surah Al-Fajr — الفجر

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 1وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ

   By the dawn

2. 2وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرࣲ

   And [by] ten nights

3. 3وَٱلشَّفۡعِ وَٱلۡوَتۡرِ

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

4. 4وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَسۡرِ

   And [by] the night when it passes,

5. 5هَلۡ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ قَسَمࣱ لِّذِی حِجۡرٍ

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

6. 6أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

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

7. 7إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ

   [With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,

8. 8ٱلَّتِی لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِی ٱلۡبِلَـٰدِ

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

9. 9وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُواْ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ

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

10. 10وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِی ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ

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

11. 11ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوۡاْ فِی ٱلۡبِلَـٰدِ

    [All of] whom oppressed within the lands

12. 12فَأَكۡثَرُواْ فِيهَا ٱلۡفَسَادَ

    And increased therein the corruption.

13. 13فَصَبَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍ

    So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

14. 14إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلۡمِرۡصَادِ

    Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

15. 15فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّیۤ أَكۡرَمَنِ

    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."

16. 16وَأَمَّاۤ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّیۤ أَهَـٰنَنِ

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

17. 17كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكۡرِمُونَ ٱلۡيَتِيمَ

    No! But you do not honor the orphan

18. 18وَلَا تَحَـٰۤضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ

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

19. 19وَتَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكۡلࣰا لَّمࣰّا

    And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,

20. 20وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡمَالَ حُبࣰّا جَمࣰّا

    And you love wealth with immense love.

21. 21كَلَّاۤۖ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ دَكࣰّا دَكࣰّا

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

22. 22وَجَاۤءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلۡمَلَكُ صَفࣰّا صَفࣰّا

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

23. 23وَجِاْيۤءَ يَوۡمَئِذِۭ بِجَهَنَّمَۚ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ

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

24. 24يَقُولُ يَـٰلَيۡتَنِی قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَيَاتِی

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

25. 25فَيَوۡمَئِذࣲ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥۤ أَحَدࣱ

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

26. 26وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥۤ أَحَدࣱ

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

27. 27يَـٰۤأَيَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفۡسُ ٱلۡمُطۡمَئِنَّةُ

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

28. 28ٱرۡجِعِیۤ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةࣰ مَّرۡضِيَّةࣰ

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

29. 29فَٱدۡخُلِی فِی عِبَـٰدِی

    And enter among My [righteous] servants

30. 30وَٱدۡخُلِی جَنَّتِی

    And enter My Paradise."
