Al-Fajr

Translation

By the dawn

Translation

And [by] ten nights

Translation

And [by] the even [number] and the odd

Translation

And [by] the night when it passes,

Translation

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

Translation

Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with 'Aad -

Translation

[With] Iram - who had lofty pillars,

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

And [with] Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? -

Translation

[All of] whom oppressed within the lands

Translation

And increased therein the corruption.

Translation

So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment.

Translation

Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

Translation

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."

Translation

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

Translation

No! But you do not honor the orphan

Translation

And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.

Translation

And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,

Translation

And you love wealth with immense love.

Translation

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

Translation

And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank,

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

And none will bind [as severely] as His binding [of the evildoers].

Translation

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

Translation

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

Translation

And enter among My [righteous] servants

Translation

And enter My Paradise."
