Al-Fajr


By the Daybreak,
ﭦﭧ ﰁ​

by the Ten Nights,
ﭩﭪ ﰂ​

by the even and the odd,
ﭬﭭﭮ ﰃ​

by the passing night––
ﭰﭱﭲﭳﭴﭵ ﰄ​

is this oath strong enough for a rational person?
ﭷﭸﭹﭺﭻﭼ ﰅ​

Have you [Prophet] considered how your Lord dealt with [the people] of 'Ad,
ﭾﭿﮀ ﰆ​

of Iram, [the city] of lofty pillars,
ﮂﮃﮄﮅﮆﮇ ﰇ​

whose like has never been made in any land,
ﮉﮊﮋﮌﮍ ﰈ​

and the Thamud, who hewed into the rocks in the valley,
ﮏﮐﮑ ﰉ​

and the mighty and powerful Pharaoh?
ﮓﮔﮕﮖ ﰊ​

All of them committed excesses in their lands,
ﮘﮙﮚ ﰋ​

and spread corruption there:
ﮜﮝﮞﮟﮠ ﰌ​

your Lord let a scourge of punishment loose on them.
ﮢﮣﮤ ﰍ​

Your Lord is always watchful.
ﮦﮧﮨﮩﮪﮫﮬﮭﮮﮯﮰ ﰎ​

[The nature of] man is that, when his Lord tries him through honour and blessings, he says, ‘My Lord has honoured me,’
ﯓﯔﯕﯖﯗﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜ ﰏ​

but when He tries him through the restriction of his provision, he says, ‘My Lord has humiliated me.’
ﯞﯟﯠﯡﯢﯣ ﰐ​

No indeed! You [people] do not honour orphans,
ﯥﯦﯧﯨﯩ ﰑ​

you do not urge one another to feed the poor,
ﯫﯬﯭﯮ ﰒ​

you consume inheritance greedily,
ﯰﯱﯲﯳ ﰓ​

and you love wealth with a passion.
ﯵﯶﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻ ﰔ​

No indeed! When the earth is pounded to dust, pounded and pounded,
ﯽﯾﯿﰀﰁ ﰕ​

when your Lord comes with the angels, rank upon rank,
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖﭗﭘﭙﭚ ﰖ​

when Hell is that Day brought near- on that Day man will take heed, but what good will that be to him then?
ﭜﭝﭞﭟ ﰗ​

He will say, ‘Would that I had provided for this life to come!’
ﭡﭢﭣﭤﭥ ﰘ​

On that Day, no one will punish as He punishes,
ﭧﭨﭩﭪ ﰙ​

and no one will bind as He binds.
ﭬﭭﭮ ﰚ​

‘[But] you, soul at peace:
ﭰﭱﭲﭳﭴ ﰛ​

return to your Lord well pleased and well pleasing;
ﭶﭷﭸ ﰜ​

go in among My servants;
ﭺﭻ ﰝ​

and into My Garden.’
