Surah Al-Fajr

89:1
89:1

By the dawn

 
89:2
89:2

And [by] ten nights

 
89:3
89:3

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

 
89:4
89:4

And [by] the night when it passes,

89:5
89:5

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

89:6
89:6

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ‘Aad –

89:7
89:7

[With] Iram – who had lofty pillars,

89:8
89:8

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

89:9
89:9

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

89:10
89:10

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

89:11
89:11

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

 
89:12
89:12

And increased therein the corruption.

89:13
89:13

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

89:14
89:14

Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

89:15
89:15

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.”

89:16
89:16

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

89:17
89:17

No! But you do not honor the orphan

89:18
89:18

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

89:19
89:19

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,

89:20
89:20

And you love wealth with immense love.

89:21
89:21

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

89:22
89:22

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

89:23
89:23

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

89:24
89:24

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

89:25
89:25

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

89:26
89:26
And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].
89:27
89:27

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

89:28
89:28

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

89:29
89:29

And enter among My [righteous] servants

89:30

89:30

And enter My Paradise.”
