بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

وَالْفَجْرِ [1]

[89:1] I swear by the daybreak,

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ [2]

[89:2] And the ten nights,

وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ [3]

[89:3] And the even and the odd,

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ [4]

[89:4] And the night when it departs.

هَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِي حِجْرٍ [5]

[89:5] Truly in that there is an oath for those who possess understanding.

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ [6]

[89:6] Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad,

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ [7]

[89:7] (The people of) Aram, possessors of lofty buildings,

الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِي الْبِلَادِ [8]

[89:8] The like of which were not created in the (other) cities;

وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ [9]

[89:9] And (with) Samood, who hewed out the rocks in the valley,

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِي الْأَوْتَادِ [10]

[89:10] And (with) Firon, the lord of hosts,

الَّذِينَ طَغَوْا فِي الْبِلَادِ [11]

[89:11] Who committed inordinacy in the cities,

فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ [12]

[89:12] So they made great mischief therein?

فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ [13]

[89:13] Therefore your Lord let down upon them a portion of the chastisement.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ [14]

[89:14] Most sure!y your Lord is watching.

فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ [15]

[89:15] And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me.

وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ [16]

[89:16] But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.

كَلَّا بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ [17]

[89:17] Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,

وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ [18]

[89:18] Nor do you urge one another to feed the poor,

وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَكْلًا لَّمًّا [19]

[89:19] And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately,

وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا [20]

[89:20] And you love wealth with exceeding love.

كَلَّا إِذَا دُكَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا [21]

[89:21] Nay! when the earth is made to crumble to pieces,

وَجَاء رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا [22]

[89:22] And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,

وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى [23]

[89:23] And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him?

يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِي [24]

[89:24] He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life!

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ [25]

[89:25] But on that day shall no one chastise with (anything like) His chastisement,

وَلَا يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ [26]

[89:26] And no one shall bind with (anything like) His binding.

يَا أَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ [27]

[89:27] O soul that art at rest!

ارْجِعِي إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً [28]

[89:28] Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him),

فَادْخُلِي فِي عِبَادِي [29]

[89:29] So enter among My servants,

وَادْخُلِي جَنَّتِي [30]

[89:30] And enter into My garden.
