Al-Fajr
وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ
(89:1) By the dawn,
وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٖ
(89:2) and the ten nights,
وَٱلشَّفۡعِ وَٱلۡوَتۡرِ
(89:3) and the even and the odd,
وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَسۡرِ
(89:4) and by the night when it departs.
هَلۡ فِي ذَٰلِكَ قَسَمٞ لِّذِي حِجۡرٍ
(89:5) Is there in this an oath for one endowed with understanding?1
أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ
(89:6) Have you2 not seen how your Lord dealt with Ad
إِرَمَ ذَاتِ ٱلۡعِمَادِ
(89:7) of Iram,3 known for their lofty columns,
ٱلَّتِي لَمۡ يُخۡلَقۡ مِثۡلُهَا فِي ٱلۡبِلَٰدِ
(89:8) the like of whom no nation was ever created in the lands of the world?4
وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُواْ ٱلصَّخۡرَ بِٱلۡوَادِ
(89:9) And how did He deal with Thamud who hewed out rocks in the valley?5
