Al-Fajr
وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ
By the Dawn
وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٖ
And ten nights,
وَٱلشَّفۡعِ وَٱلۡوَتۡرِ
And the Even and the Odd,
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَسۡرِ
And the night when it departeth,
هَلۡ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٞ لِّذِي حِجۡرٍ
There surely is an oath for thinking man.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
Dost thou not consider how thy Lord dealt with (the tribe of) A'ad,
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ
With many-columned Iram,
ٱلَّتِي لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
The like of which was not created in the lands;
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُواْ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ
And with (the tribe of) Thamud, who clove the rocks in the valley;
وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ ذِي ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ
And with Pharaoh, firm of might,
ٱلَّذِينَ طَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
Who (all) were rebellious (to Allah) in these lands,
