AL-FAJR (89)

The Dawn

1. By the dawn(1)
2. and ten nights,(2)
3. by the even and the odd,(3)
4. by the night when it departs.(4)
5. Is there in this an oath for the mindful?(5)
6. Hast thou not seen how thy Lord did with Ad,(6)
7. Iram of the pillars,(7)
8. the like of which was not created in the land;(8)
9. and with Thamood who hewed out the rocks in the valley;(9)
10. and with Pharaoh of the tent-peges,(10)
11. those who transgressed in the land(11)
12. and worked much disorder in it?(12)
13. Then thy Lord unloosed on them a scourge of punishment;(13)
14. surely thy Lord is at the ambush.(14)
15. But as for man, when his Lord tries him, then honours him and blesses him, he says, `my Lord has honoured me'.(15)
16. However, when He tries him, then straitens for him his provision, he says, `my Lord has despised me'.(16)
17. No indeed; but you honour not the orphan,(17)
18. and you urge not the feeding of the needy,(18)
19. and you devour the inheritance greedily,(19)
20. and you love the riches ardently.(20)
21. No indeed; when the earth is ground to powder;(21)
22. and there thy Lord comes, and the angels, rank on rank;(22)
23. and Hell that day is brought out; that day Man will pay heed, but what for shall the heeding be for him?(23)
24. He shall say,` O would that I had forwarded for my life!'(24)
25. And on that day none shall punish as He punishes,(25)
26. and none shall bind as He binds.(26)
27. O soul at peace,(27)
28. return to thy Lord, pleased and pleasing,(28)
29. and enter among My servants,(29)
30. and enter My Paradise!(30)
