Surah 89. The Dawn, Daybreak
Surah Al-Fajr
- By the break of Day
- By the Nights twice five;
- By the even and odd (contrasted);
- And by the Night when it passeth away;—
- Is there (not) in these an adjuration (or evidence) for those who understand?
- Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people),—
- Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars,
- The like of which were not produced in (all) the land?
- And with the Thamud (people), who cut out (huge) rocks in the valley?—
- And with Pharaoh, lord of stakes?
- (All) these transgressed beyond bounds in the lands,
- And heaped therein mischief (on mischief).
- Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements:
- For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch-tower.
- Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me."
- But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!"
- Nay, nay! but ye honour not the orphans!
- Nor do ye encourage one another to feed the poor!—
- And ye devour inheritance — all with greed,
- And ye love wealth with inordinate love!
- Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder,
- And thy Lord cometh, and His angels, rank upon rank,
- And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face),— on that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance profit him?
- He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth (good deeds) for (this) my (Future) Life!"
- For, that Day, His Chastisement will be such as none (else) can inflict,
- And His bonds will be such as none (other) can bind.
- (To the righteous soul will be said:) "O (thou) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction!
- "Come back thou to thy Lord,— well pleased (thyself), and well-pleasing unto Him!
- "Enter thou, then, among My devotees!
- "Yea, enter thou My Heaven!
