chapter Al-Fajr

الفجر

Al-Fajr

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِیمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful

وَالْفَجْرِ(1)

By the dawn(1)

وَلَیَالٍ عَشْرٍ(2)

And [by] ten nights(2)

وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ(3)

And [by] the even [number] and the odd(3)

وَالَّیْلِ إِذَا یَسْرِ(4)

And [by] the night when it passes,(4)

هَلْ فِی ذَٰلِکَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِی حِجْرٍ(5)

Is there [not] in [all] that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception?(5)

أَلَمْ تَرَ کَیْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّکَ بِعَادٍ(6)

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ‘Aad -(6)

إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ(7)

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,(7)

الَّتِی لَمْ یُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِی الْبِلَٰدِ(8)

The likes of whom had never been created in the land?(8)

وَثَمُودَ الَّذِینَ جَابُوا۟ الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ(9)

And [with] Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley?(9)

وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِی الْأَوْتَادِ(10)

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? (10)

الَّذِینَ طَغَوْا۟ فِی الْبِلَٰدِ(11)

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands(11)

فَأَکْثَرُوا۟ فِیهَا الْفَسَادَ(12)

And increased therein the corruption(12)

فَصَبَّ عَلَیْهِمْ رَبُّکَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ(13)

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment(13)

إِنَّ رَبَّکَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ(14)

Indeed, your Lord is in observation(14)

فَأَمَّا الْإِنسَٰنُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَیٰهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَکْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَیَقُولُ رَبِّیٓ أَکْرَمَنِ(15)

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."(15)

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَیٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَیْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَیَقُولُ رَبِّیٓ أَهَٰنَنِ(16)

But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."(16)

کَلَّا بَل لَّا تُکْرِمُونَ الْیَتِیمَ(17)

No! But you do not honor the orphan(17)

وَلَا تَحَٰٓضُّونَ عَلَیٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْکِینِ(18)

And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor(18)

وَتَأْکُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ أَکْلًا لَّمًّا(19)

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,(19)

وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا(20)

And you love wealth with immense love(20)

کلَّآ إِذَا دُکَّتِ الْأَرْضُ دَکًّا دَکًّا(21)

No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed -(21)

وَجَآءَ رَبُّکَ وَالْمَلَکُ صَفًّا صَفًّا(22)

And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank(22)

وَجِا۟یٓءَ یَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَهَنَّمَ یَوْمَئِذٍ یَتَذَکَّرُ الْإِنسَٰنُ وَأَنَّیٰ لَهُ الذِّکْرَیٰ(23)

And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell - that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance?(23)

یَقُولُ یَٰلَیْتَنِی قَدَّمْتُ لِحَیَاتِی(24)

He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."(24)

فَیَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا یُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ(25)

So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment,(25)

وَلَا یُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ(26)

And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers](26)

یَٰٓأَیَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ(27)

[To the righteous it will be said], "O reassured soul,(27)

ارْجِعِیٓ إِلَیٰ رَبِّکِ رَاضِیَةً مَّرْضِیَّةً(28)

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him],(28)

فَادْخُلِی فِی عِبَٰدِی(29)

And enter among My [righteous] servants(29)

وَادْخُلِی جَنَّتِی(30)

And enter My Paradise."(30)
