Surah Al-Fajr ( The Dawn ) - Aya count 30
وَالْفَجْرِ
( 1 ) By the dawn
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
( 2 ) And [by] ten nights
وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ
( 3 ) And [by] the even [number] and the odd
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ
( 4 ) And [by] the night when it passes,
هَلْ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ
( 5 ) Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
( 6 ) Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ
( 7 ) [With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,
الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ
( 8 ) The likes of whom had never been created in the land?
وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ
( 9 ) And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?
وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ
( 10 ) And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -
الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ
( 11 ) [All of] whom oppressed within the lands
فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ
( 12 ) And increased therein the corruption.
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ
( 13 ) So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ
( 14 ) Indeed, your Lord is in observation.
فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ
( 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."
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ
( 16 ) But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ
( 17 ) No! But you do not honor the orphan
وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
( 18 ) And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.
وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا
( 19 ) And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,
وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
( 20 ) And you love wealth with immense love.
كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
( 21 ) No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -
وَجَاءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا
( 22 ) And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,
وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
( 23 ) And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?
يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي
( 24 ) He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ
( 25 ) So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,
وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ
( 26 ) And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].
يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ
( 27 ) [To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,
ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً
( 28 ) Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],
فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي
( 29 ) And enter among My [righteous] servants
وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي
( 30 ) And enter My Paradise."
