Al-Fajr

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ

By the dawn

وَلَیَالٍ عَشۡرࣲ

And [by] ten nights

وَٱلشَّفۡعِ وَٱلۡوَتۡرِ

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

وَٱلَّیۡلِ إِذَا یَسۡرِ

And [by] the night when it passes,

هَلۡ فِی ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ قَسَمࣱ لِّذِی حِجۡرٍ

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

أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَیۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ

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

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,

ٱلَّتِی لَمۡ یُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِی ٱلۡبِلَـٰدِ

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

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِینَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ

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

وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِی ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ

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

ٱلَّذِینَ طَغَوۡا۟ فِی ٱلۡبِلَـٰدِ

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

فَأَكۡثَرُوا۟ فِیهَا ٱلۡفَسَادَ

And increased therein the corruption.

فَصَبَّ عَلَیۡهِمۡ رَبُّكَ سَوۡطَ عَذَابٍ

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلۡمِرۡصَادِ

Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَیَقُولُ 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."

وَأَمَّاۤ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَیۡهِ رِزۡقَهُۥ فَیَقُولُ رَبِّیۤ أَهَـٰنَنِ

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

كَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا تُكۡرِمُونَ ٱلۡیَتِیمَ

No! But you do not honor the orphan

وَلَا تَحَـٰۤضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِینِ

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

وَتَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكۡلࣰا لَّمࣰّا

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,

وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡمَالَ حُبࣰّا جَمࣰّا

And you love wealth with immense love.

كَلَّاۤۖ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ دَكࣰّا دَكࣰّا

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

وَجَاۤءَ رَبُّكَ وَٱلۡمَلَكُ صَفࣰّا صَفࣰّا

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

وَجِا۟یۤءَ یَوۡمَىِٕذِۭ بِجَهَنَّمَۚ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ یَتَذَكَّرُ 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?

یَقُولُ یَـٰلَیۡتَنِی قَدَّمۡتُ لِحَیَاتِی

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

فَیَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ لَّا یُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُۥۤ أَحَدࣱ

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

وَلَا یُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُۥۤ أَحَدࣱ

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

یَـٰۤأَیَّتُهَا ٱلنَّفۡسُ ٱلۡمُطۡمَىِٕنَّةُ

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

ٱرۡجِعِیۤ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِیَةࣰ مَّرۡضِیَّةࣰ

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

فَٱدۡخُلِی فِی عِبَـٰدِی

And enter among My [righteous] servants

وَٱدۡخُلِی جَنَّتِی

And enter My Paradise."
