Al-Fajr


(89:1) By the dawn,

(89:2) and the ten nights,

(89:3) and the even and the odd,

(89:4) and by the night when it departs.

(89:5) Is there in this an oath for one endowed with understanding?1

(89:6) Have you2 not seen how your Lord dealt with Ad

(89:7) of Iram,3 known for their lofty columns,

(89:8) the like of whom no nation was ever created in the lands of the world?4

(89:9) And how did He deal with Thamud who hewed out rocks in the valley?5

(89:10) And with Pharaoh of the tent pegs6

(89:11) who transgressed in the countries of the world

(89:12) spreading in them much corruption?

(89:13) Then their Lord unloosed upon them the lash of chastisement.

(89:14) Truly your Lord is ever watchful.7

(89:15) As for man,8 when his Lord tests him by exalting him and
bestowing His bounties upon him, he says: “My Lord has exalted me.”

(89:16) But when He tests him by straitening his sustenance, he says: “My
Lord has humiliated me.”9

(89:17) But no;0 you do not treat the orphan honourably,1

(89:18) and do not urge one another to feed the poor,2

(89:19) and greedily devour the entire inheritance,3

(89:20) and love the riches, loving them ardently.4

(89:21) But no;5 when the earth is ground to powder,

(89:22) and when your Lord appears6 with rows upon rows of angels,

(89:23) and when Hell is brought near that Day. On that Day will man understand,
but of what avail will that understanding be?7

(89:24) He will say: “Would that I had sent ahead what would be of avail
for this life of mine!”

(89:25) Then on that Day Allah will chastise as none other can chastise;

(89:26) and Allah will bind as none other can bind.

(89:27) (On the other hand it will be said): “O serene soul!8

(89:28) Return to your Lord9 well-pleased (with your blissful
destination), well-pleasing (to your Lord).

(89:29) So enter among My (righteous) servants

(89:30) and enter My Paradise.”
